stijn.cooleman@inbo.be 0000-0003-3029-0451 2026-04-30 eng ‘VIS - Stow Net Fish Monitoring in the river Zeeschelde in Flanders, Belgium’ is a sampling event dataset published by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). The dataset contains over 50,000 occurrences sampled since 2012 from four different locations in the part of the river Scheldt under tidal influence ("Zeeschelde"). The dataset includes over 60 fish species, as well as a number of non-target crustacean species. The data are retrieved from the Fish Information System (VIS), a database set up to monitor the status of fishes and their habitats in Flanders and are collected in support of the Water Framework Directive, the Habitat Directive, certain red lists, and biodiversity research. Additional information, such as measurements, absence information and abiotic data are available upon request.Length and weight measurement data of the individual fishes, absence information, as well as abiotic data of the sampling points (pH, temperature, etc.) are not included in the Darwin Core Archive and are available upon request.We released the data to the public domain under a Creative Commons Zero waiver (http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).
