Description
Visherintroductie - Reintroduction of the fishes chub, dace, burbot, and brown trout in Flanders, Belgium is a species occurrence dataset published by the Research Institute for Nature and Forest (INBO). The dataset contains over 3,300 fish occurrences sampled between 2008 and 2011 from 18 watercourses. The dataset includes 20 fish species. The data are collected to evaluate the success of the reintroduction of the fishes chub, dace, burbot and brown trout in Flanders. The captured numbers were compared with the expected numbers, which were determined in previous studies based on habitat suitability models. The dataset also includes the length and mass of the caught fishes.

Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 3,594 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Sampling Methods
Electrofishing was used to measure the reintroduction success. The number of individuals was recorded, as well fork length (tip of snout to fork of tail in millimeter) and weight (gram). The water temperature was measured in °C.
Study Extent | 18 watercourses in Flanders, Belgium were sampled to evaluate the success of reintroduction: Abeek, Asbeek, Balengracht, Bosbeek, Grote nete, Hanskenselsloop, Heiloop, Ijsse, Itterbeek, Laan, Maarkebeek, meer van Rotselaar (lake), Molenbeek, Scherpenbergloop, Terkleppebeek, Vleterbeek, Zeeploop, and Zwalm. |

Quality Control | All records are validated. |
