Brook Trout eDNA and Environmental Data

Description

This dataset contains information on brook trout detections using environmental DNA (eDNA) and environmental parameters collected from various sites in Ontario, Canada. The data was sourced from a scientific study comparing eDNA sampling methods with electrofishing to detect Brook trout populations.

Usage

BrookTrout

Format

A dataframe with 10 variables and multiple rows (one row per sample):

Backpack

Character. The type of eDNA sampler: "OSMOS" or "ANDe".

Site

Integer. The site number where the sample was taken.

eFishCatch

Integer. The number of fish caught via electrofishing.

AirTemp

Numeric. Air temperature in degrees Celsius.

WaterTemp

Numeric. Water temperature in degrees Celsius.

pH

Numeric. pH level of the water sample.

DissolvedOxygen

Numeric. Dissolved oxygen concentration in mg/L.

Conductivity

Numeric. Conductivity in uS/cm.

VolumeFiltered
