Metadata: 2020 DAERA (The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs) Fish Estuary-Association Scores (FEAS)
Abstract:
A dataset of the degree or level of estuarine association for some 6200 fish species. The dataset comprises a fish estuary-association score (FEAS) system that numerically expresses the degree or level of estuarine association for each species. The FEAS ranges between 1.0 and 5.0 where fish species with a score close to 1.0 are regarded as freshwater species with little association or dependence on estuarine environments (freshwater straggler species) while those species with a score close to 5.0 are marine species that are typically not associated or dependent on estuaries (marine straggler species). Fish species with a FEAS close to 3.0 are dependent on estuaries for all or part of their life cycle. Estuary-use functional guild categories for each species is also provided. These consist of marine stragglers (MS), marine migrants (MM), estuarine species (ES), diadromous species (DI), freshwater migrants (FM), and freshwater stragglers (FS). Diadromous species were further sub-divided into anadromous species (DI(AN)), catadromous species (DI(CA)), and amphidromous species (DI(AM)).

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | A dataset of the degree or level of estuarine association for some 6200 fish species.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Information on life histories and estuarine use functional guilds was collated for each fish species through an extensive review of the scientific literature as well as internet resources such as FishBase (Froese and Pauly, 2019) and the IUCN (IUCN, 2020). Over 230 published references on coastal fishes were evaluated. Each record or reference for each species was assigned to one of six estuarine use functional guilds developed by Elliott et al. (2007). Each functional guild was then allocated a numerical value of between 1 and 5 where: Freshwater stragglers (FS) = 1 Freshwater migrants (FM) = 2 Estuarine species (ES) = 3 Diadromous species (DI) = 3 Marine migrants (MM) = 4 Marine stragglers (MS) = 5 An overall fish estuary-association score (FEAS) was calculated for each fish species, which was determined as the mean (±SE) of all estuary use functional guild values. This data set has not been standardised within DASSH, and therefore has not been through the same DASSH QA procedures. |
