About
The data catalog is a detailed resource listing fish species found in Sweden, including an assessment of their conservation status. It provides essential biodiversity details such as the scientific and common names, taxonomic family, known habitat, and frequency of occurrence in Swedish waters. The primary significance of the collection is the inclusion of the Red List Status, which identifies species categorized as endangered, threatened, or common, aiding in monitoring aquatic wildlife populations.
Columns
- Family: Specifies the taxonomic family to which each fish species belongs, with common groups including Cyprinidae and Salmonidae.
- Scientific name: The specific, unique scientific nomenclature for the fish species.
- English name: The common name of the fish in English, where available. A large portion of this column currently lacks assigned values.
- Swedish name: The common name of the fish in Swedish.
- Habitat: Indicates the environment where the fish resides, with the majority categorised as Marine, followed by Fresh water.
- Occurrence: Describes how frequently the fish species is observed in the waters, classified predominantly as 'Native and common' or 'Sporadic'.
- Red List Status: Shows the endangered or conservation status of each fish, although many entries are currently labelled 'Not evaluated'.
Distribution
The information is available in a standard CSV format named "List of fishes found in Sweden.csv," totaling 23.32 kB. The structure consists of 7 distinct columns. The data contains 252 valid records across most fields. For instance, the Scientific name column holds 252 unique values, while the Red List Status field contains 13 unique conservation status descriptors.
Usage
This data is highly suited for ecological studies and conservation initiatives related to aquatic life. Ideal applications include assessing regional biodiversity, developing environmental policy focused on species protection, tracking the frequency and distribution of native species, and providing baseline data for researchers and students interested in water body ecosystems.
Coverage
The geographical scope of the data is strictly limited to Sweden, focusing on fish species found within its marine and fresh waters. Data updates are anticipated to occur on an Annually basis.
