The following map summarizes data compiled within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Inland Fisheries Database which comprises fish sampling data collected by federal and state agencies, river basin commissions, universities, and other organizations across the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The information constituted therein describe whether species were observed in at least one sample within each HUC 12 (Hydrologic Unit Code) of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. In addition, as there are sometimes multiple collection groups responsible for fish sampling within a given HUC12, the group that observed each species within a HUC12 is listed after the species common name. The sample in which the species was observed could have occurred in any year for which the compiled datasets span (across all providers the represented years range from 1969 - 2019). If a species is not listed for a HUC12 this does not indicate that the species does not occur within the HUC12, but rather that the species was not observed at the time of sampling or the HUC12 was not sampled for the given species. Therefore, these data only represent the presence of species at some point during the time interval of the data, not the absence of species. Fish samples described here were conducted using a variety of techniques (included by not limited to electrofishing and seining) and with protocols that differed by sampling entity.
