Freshwater fish are used as an indicator of stock status, water and habitat quality, artificial obstacles to migration and river flow requirements due to specific life-cycle requirements.
This dataset is made up of the species count and length values from the freshwater river fish surveys conducted across Wales by Natural Resources Wales and former Environment Agency Wales. These surveys are conducted as part of on-going monitoring of fish in their natural environment for legislative requirements and to meet business drivers.
