KRIS Big River: Meta Information Page
This page contains detailed information about a data set in KRIS, including where the original data reside and how to contact the sources for the data. Data sets are linked to the appropriate page by means of the Meta Identifier. Many data sets can be linked to same page by sharing the same Meta Identifier.
| Meta Identifier | DFGhab |
| Type of Data | Fish habitat and stream condition attributes |
| Originator | California Department of Fish and Game |
| Description | Data collection protocol follows the California Salmonid Stream Habitat Restoration Manual (1998). Data for each stream surveyed comes in three parts: A stream inventory report, a spreadsheet file that contains summary tables and charts, and a database file (.dbf) that contains raw data. Memo field information from the raw data forms was not available. |

| Maint. and Update Freq. | unknown |
| Serial Name | Stream Inventory Rpt |
| Purpose | To document current habitat conditions, and recommend options for the potential enhancement of habitat for chinook salmon, coho salmon and steelhead trout. |
| Data Quality Information | Although trained in standard protocol, crews may have very limited experience, and many data categories are highly subjective. Some data entry errors are evident from impossibly high values. |
| Use Constraints | Neither density nor absence of any species can be determined from small, single-pass electrofishing without block nets. No data may appear as zeros in the dataset. |
| Supplemental Information | The California Conservation Corps (CCC) Technical Advisors and Watershed Stewards Project/AmeriCorps (WSP/AmeriCorps) members that conducted the inventory were trained in standardized habitat inventory methods by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG 1998). Biological Inventory was included in some surveys and consisted of single-pass electrofishing small representative sections of the stream without block nets. |
