KRIS Gualala : Meta Information Page

Meta Identifier	Gual_CDFG_Fish
Type of Data	Fish survey data from Cal Fish and Game studies 1950-2001
Originator	California Department of Fish and Game
Description	Electrofishing samples from the Gualala River basin collected by the California Department of Fish and Game. Recent data collected by Jones and Harris are at repeatable reaches and use similar method and effort so that densities, biomass and standing crop can all be gauged and compared. Most recent data collected in association with CDFG NCWAP habitat typing is single pass efishing with no block nets. Sampling using dive surveys for coho presence and absence in 2001 use the ten pool method advanced by NMFS (Adams et al., 1999). Only one downstream migrant trap operated in Pepperwood Creek in 1974.

Status	integrating
Request Log	Requesting full dataset from CDFG NCWAP e-fishing and presence and absence coho dive surveys of Gualala during 2001.
Receipt Log	Got some sub-sample of dive data from CLDB in the form of data sheets for main North Fork and House Creek. Not able to use because metadata never provided.
Access Constraints	Older data available in Jones (2000). Data collected in 2001for NCWAP being made available in KRIS. Release of 2001 data from CDFG coho presence/absence surveys not widely available.
Progress Log	Only got partial results of NCWAP e-fishing. Cynthia LeDoux Bloom refused to share and also would not provide paper CDFG reports for scanning into KRIS Gualala Bibliography.

Notes	Data assimilated as part of North Coast Watershed Assessment Program from recent and historical collections. Some data captured by Higgins (1997) from file memos.

Serial Name	CDFG Fish Data
Purpose	Data collected by CDFG to monitor coho salmon and steelhead populations of the Gualala Basin. EIP Associates collected fish data as part of lower Gualala EIS for gravel extraction by Gualala Aggregates.
Data Quality Information	Varies due to different sampling methodologies.
Use Constraints	Fish density should only be calculated for those samples where multiple pass efforts were made.
Supplemental Information	Various file memos from CDFG contain these data (Kimsey, 1953; Cox, 1995; Jones, 2000) as well as reports from private sources (EIP, 1994). See discussions of fish community structure in Higgins (1997). Only recent surveys record amphibian as well as fish species. CDFG should be publishing results of 2001 presence/absence survey early in 2002 as part of stock assessment for coho as required by the CA Fish and Game Commission as a basis for whether to list coho as Endangered under Cal ESA.
