    1.2 Description
      1.2.1 Abstract:
                    The source data set, for Illinois’ Multistate Aquatic Resource Information System (MARIS) information, is the Statewide Fisheries Analysis System for Lakes (FAS-LAKES). FAS-LAKES is a comprehensive collection of lake fish community sampling data and associated  limnological data collected by IDNR district fisheries managers annually for the state of Illinois. Records consist of the actual field measurements of fish and sampling conditions as recorded by IDNR district managers rather than summaries of field data. Data tables cover descriptive data of each lake sampled, of each sampling station, methodology of each sample, limnology and weather conditions at the sampling station, individual fish length:weight:age records, and fish counts by species and centimeter size class. This data base serves as the source information for annual lake fisheries status reports submitted by district fisheries managers. It is also used for stock assessments, evaluating creel limits, and most other aspects of fisheries management decisions made by IDNR’s district and regional managers.  
Data Limitations: All data are entered in metric units.  Data primarily come from annual fall fish surveys, although spring survey, and to a far lesser extent, summer and winter sample data are also found in the database. Data are primarily collected using standard IDNR methodology for lake sampling. Fish data covers the period of 1980 to present. Annual data sets exist for most major state lakes managed by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources Lakes, while other lake data may be from single sampling events or samples taken at irregular time periods.  are referred to both by IDNR standard name and unique state water number. Collections are chiefly from state-owned or managed lakes. Lake Michigan fish surveys and surveys of privately-owned ponds or lakes are NOT present in this database. 
 

Fish abundance data is based on actual numbers of fish collected or counts of subsampled species (i.e., where a species is sampled for only a portion of total sample collection time), extrapolated up to an equivalent number for the entire sampling time (e.g., a species sampled during just the first quarter (25%) of a sampling run or net set will have its actual sample abundance multiplied by four (4) to calculate the total abundance for that species in that sample). Fish age data is primarily from scale readings. However, age data exists for only a small percentage of all fish records. Fish gender and tag information are not included in this database.
 

Sample data are submitted annually by each IDNR district fisheries manager to the statewide FAS-Lakes database manager. After QA/QC review of these data, district records are added to the statewide data set. Generally, there is a 6-12 month lag between the lake sampling date and when the database is summarized for MARIS.
 

      1.2.2 Purpose:
                    The Multistate Aquatic Resource Information System (MARIS) is a six state cooperative project to make accessible, via a common, internet-based application, selected fish population survey data from each of the cooperating states. MARIS states including Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.  Illinois's source data comes from raw lake population survey data stored in the state’s Fisheries Analysis System for Lakes (FAS-LAKES) statewide database. FAS-LAKES serves as the primary tool for ILDNR district fisheries managers for storing and analyzing their raw survey population data. Analyses generated from this database are the foundation of annual lake fisheries status reports as well as the scientific basis for most lake fisheries management decisions in state-managed lakes and reservoirs.                         The statewide database is based in Borland’s Paradox for DOS 4.5 database engine and consist of eight data tables and a number of ancillary look-up tables. Tables within FAS-LAKES are related through a key field which identifies the sample. The key consists of the unique water number identification of the lake sampled, the year and season of the lake sample, and sampling station within the lake. Data tables include general sampling lake station, and sampling methodology descriptions, data related to lake limnology on the day of the collection, water temperature-dissolved oxygen profile data, data describing how individual electrofishing sampling runs or net sets were conducted, fish species length frequency information, and individual fish length:weight:age information. The MARIS data set for Illinois is derived from the FAS-LAKES database by extracting the limnological and lake morphometric data associated with each lake sampled directly from the FAS-LAKES database, while fisheries and water quality data are summarized either through fisheries analysis programs or Paradox database query routines developed for MARIS.

                    Field
        99.2.5.1.3 Methodology Description:
                    Illinois DNR Fisheries Managers use several unique coding schemes in collecting field data from lake fish population surveys. All data records entered into FAS-LAKES are identified by the lake where the sample originated. However for most data records a five-digit water body code unique to that lake, reservoir, or pond is used in order to save storage space within the database. These unique codes are assigned at the IDNR regional level and a full set of codes is maintained within the state central office. All samples are also coded to the season of collection and the number of the sampling trip made to that lake within the season (e.g., spring: March - May(1), summer: June-August (2), fall: September-November (3), winter: December-February (4); a spring, trip #1 would be coded as 11, while a similar number fall trip is assigned a code of 31. Finally, all fish collected are identified to species, but recorded using unique three letter codes, generally pneumonically-based on the species common name (e.g., BLG=bluegill)
                        Data quality control and assurance are handled in three ways. The FAS-LAKES data entry routines have range and value checks built into custom data entry forms to trap or flag questionable entries. District managers are encourage to verify their data against their field sheets prior to submitting the data for inclusion in the statewide FAS-LAKES database. Finally, the database manager for the statewide FAS-LAKES will run a number of data checks against the district data to identify any additional errors, as well as to spot check actual data records. Any databases with questionable data are omitted from the statewide database until the data issues are resolved by the district manager.
                        Lake spatial information: shoreline length, area, and latitude and longitude are generally calculated from digital coverages of the lake, based on 1:24,000 scale USGS topo maps as maintained in the Geographic Information System Arc/Info (ESRI). Where a GIS coverage or shapefile does not exist for the lake, the lake morphometry calculated are based on digital planimeter values taken by the district manager of that lake. Lake latitude and longitude values are based on the outfall of that lake, generally this is the center of the spillway for the lake.
                        Details of fish sampling, lake water quality, and fish processing procedures are found within the Manual of Operations for the Division of Fisheries, Illinois Department of Natural Resources. This manual is available upon request to the IDNR-Division of Fisheries and should be available for download from the MARIS data clearinghouse during 2001.

      2.5.2 Process Step
        2.5.2.1 Process Description:
                    Field data collection from whole lake community fish surveys by IDNR district managers. Local data entry from field data sheets via custom data entry screens of the Illinois Fisheries Analysis System for Lakes. Data are keyed in once with QA/QC checking done by clerical or district manager staff. The underlying Paradox for DOS data tables are transferred annually from district offices to the state central office via disk or e-mail. Data are checked through a second QA/QC process at the state central office and once data error issues are resolved with the appropriate district manager, the annual raw district data are uploaded to the  statewide database. 
                        Data from the statewide FAS-LAKES database are queried and summarized in the appropriate MARIS format and exported as ASCII delimited text files from Paradox. These files are then sent to the main MARIS data clearinghouse site manager in Champaign, IL for access through the MARIS Internet homepage. 
        2.5.2.3 Process Date:
                    Generally, the Illinois MARIS data set is generated annually by the end of the state fiscal year (June 30, 20xx).
