1.2 Description
1.2.1 Abstract:
The lakes portion of Iowa's Statewide Fisheries database began in 1991 and consists of 9 tables including; general lake information, lake morphology, population estimates, biomass estimates, species composition, management history, stocking, creel data, and routine sampling statistics. The Multistate Aquatic Resource Information System
(MARIS) is a six state cooperative pilot project
to make accessible, via a common, internet-based
application, selected fish population survey data
from each of the cooperating states. MARIS states
include Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio,
and Wisconsin. These states have developed a
statewide fisheries survey database containing
information on relative or absolute abundance of
fish species, morphometry, location, and water
chemistry in selected lakes compiled from their
source state database. Each state will maintain
authority and responsibility for its own database,
but will support internet access through a defined
set of summary queries and reports.
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
include Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio,
and Wisconsin.
