KRIS Russian 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 IdentifierCDFG_coho
Type of DataCoho presence/absence
OriginatorCalifornia Department of Fish and Game
DescriptionThis database contains coho salmon presence/absence data arranged by streams and years from 1998-2002 for all documented historic coho streams between the Golden Gate and the Mendocino-Humboldt County line. This database contains only coho young-of-year sightings/captures, not any other life-stages. Scott Harris extracted this database from a more detailed database maintained by NOAA Fisheries Santa Cruz office (see supplemental information below). Eli Asarian of KRIS staff created an ArcView shapefile (coho_presence.shp) from this database by using the PNAME and LLID fields to link the database to GIS stream layers (see metadata file coho_presence.shp.txt) for more detailed information on the spatial aspects of the data

Data Quality InformationHarris warns that there are errors in the database that he has yet to fix. It should not be considered 100% reliable. Database is a work in progress (draft).
Use ConstraintsBecause there is no documentation linking the records in this database to the source data (as there is in the NOAA database), data cannot be checked. Database is a work in progress (draft).
Supplemental InformationThe source NOAA Fisheries (Santa Cruz office) database contains a record for each survey (i.e. maybe 25 for a stream). The columns include a set of four columns for every year (coho yoy, coho y+, jacks, adults) for the years 1988-2002, also with a code 1-9 (present, absent, validity). They also have a list of 3,000-4,000 references linked to every row in the database. Harris will not release the source database without permission from NOAA Fisheries
