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
Numeric. Volume of water filtered in litres.
- eDNAConc
Numeric. eDNA concentration in copies per microlitre.
