Virginia Department of Game and Inland FisheriesJuly 2010Anadromous Fish Use Watersvector digital datahttp://www.dgif.virginia.gov/gis/gis_data.htmlanad_fish_use_watersLam0611Richmond VaVDGIFThis dataset identifies reaches that are confirmed or potential migration pathways, spawning grounds, or nursery areas for anadromous fish. The species included in this assessment are alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), blueback herring (A. aestivalis), American shad (A. sapidissima), hickory shad (A. mediocris), striped bass (Morone americana), and some populations of yellow perch (Perca flavescens). Certain time-of-year restrictions apply to areas used by anadromous fish. Data associated with each reach include stream name, reach length, status (confirmed or potential), species confirmed in the reach (if confirmed), watershed, and upstream boundary. Upstream boundaries were established at impediments or where habitat became unsuitable.Stocks of anadromous fish have declined dramatically in recent decades. Many efforts are underway to conserve and to restore these species. This dataset is intended as a tool to assist in those efforts and in land use planning.Other datasets are available from the VDGIF that complement these data. They are point locations for fish collections and "impediments".en1/1/19707/2010ground conditionAs needed-79.163977-76.18705839.00427136.49946730093.791310287048.18179660412.712594333479.0880720.0000000.000000ESRI ArcIMS Topic CategoriesbiotafishclupeidsanadromousVirginiaThese data are available to public or private entities with permission of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF).

Collections that met certain criteria were used to identify and to select confirmed reaches. These reaches were then attributed with information about collected fish species. Potential reaches were added from the USEPA reach files. Stream names were checked using USGS 1:24K DRG topographic maps. VDGIF collections and Fisheries Division datasets were spatially attributed using a range of methods, however, most were assigned coordinates based on 1:24K USGS topographic maps. Upstream boundaries of reaches were determined using the VDGIF impediments dataset and USGS 1:24K DRG topographic maps. During this version, the delineation of anadromous reaches from the original USEPA Reach Files (v.3) was transferred to the updated High and Medium resolution USGS NHD polygons. The high resolution data was used where available at time of update. Three units in the Chowan were not complete at this scale and medium resolution data were used.VectorSimpleFALSE271FALSETRUEcoordinate pair0.0000000.000000metersNorth American Datum of 1983Geodetic Reference System 806378137.000000298.257222GCS_North_American_1983North_America_Lambert_Conformal_Conic0.000100Explicit elevation coordinate included with horizontal coordinatesanad_fish_use_watersLam0611Feature Class271FIDInternal feature number.ESRISequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.FIDOID400ShapeFeature geometry.ESRICoordinates defining the features.ShapeGeometry000UPST_BOUNDA textual description of the upstream boundary of the anadromous fish use area.DGIFUPST_BOUNDString5000UniqueIDUnique identifier assigned to each polygonUniqueIDString1000streamnameThe name of the stream identified as an anadromous fish use area.
