The main purpose of Inland Fisheries Ireland’s National Research Survey Programme (NRSP) and Water Framework Directive (WFD) Rivers, Lakes, and Transitional and Coastal Water (TRAC) sampling programmes is to collect fish stock data relating to fish species composition, abundance and age structure in selected waterbodies nationally. These data are used to calculate Ecological Quality Ratings (EQR’s) for fish ecological status in each waterbody/site, a requirement for the EU Water Framework Directive. Data collected spans 2008 to most recent surveys. Multiple survey data by year are available for individual waterbodies and information from the most recent survey is displayed on the map viewer.   Where sp. or spp. denoted identification is to genus level only. Field NameField AliasField TypeField DescriptioncdSortNoSort No.string Unique identifiercdSampleIdSample IDstringUnique identifier for sitegeoItmSiteEastingDsEasting d/s double Coordinates of site in ITM format geoItmSiteNorthingDs Northing d/s double Coordinates of site in ITM format ynBream Bream string  Y=present N=none or not recorded during survey.  ynBrownTroutBrown trout ynChubChub ynDace Dace ynEuropeanEelEuropean eel ynFlounder Flounder ynGudgeon Gudgeon ynLampreySp Lamprey sp. ynMinnow Minnow ynNineSpinedStickleback Nine spined stickleback ynPerch Perch ynPike Pike ynRainbowTrout Rainbow trout ynRoach Roach ynRoachXBreamHybrid Roach x bream hybrid ynRudd Rudd ynSalmon Salmon ynSeaTrout Sea troutynStoneLoach Stone loach ynThreeSpinedStickleback Three-spined stickleback ynTench Tench indSpeciesPresentSpecies present string List of species present at the site indRiverName River name string Name of river (assigned by IFI in the office, to the level of interest to our project) indSiteName Site name string Site name assigned by the surveyors cdRbd River Basin District string IFI river basin districts (RBDs), broad geographic delineations.indSiteEcologicalStatus WFD fish ecological status at Site stringReported final WFD fish ecological status at each site.
