Time series of species abundances
This global database is a compilation of long-term riverine fish surveys from 46 regional and national monitoring programs and from individual academic research efforts, with which numerous basic and applied questions in ecology and global change research can be explored. The database includes 11,386 time-series of riverine fish community catch data, including 646,270 species-specific abundance records, together with metadata related to the geographical location and sampling
methodology of each time-series. The database contains 11,072 unique sampling locations (stream reach), spanning 19 countries, five biogeographical realms and 402 hydrographical basins world-wide. The database includes 944 species of rayfinned fishes (Class Actinopterygii) and encompasses the period 1951–2019 and is composed of a minimum of two yearly surveys per time series (mean = 8 years) with a minimum time span of 10 years (mean = 19 years).
