Fosness, R.L., 2014, White Sturgeon Egg-Mat Network near Shorty's Island and Myrtle Bend, 2007-2013, Koootenai River near Bonners Ferry, ID: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9QAOUQ5.

Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. The egg-mat data describe a sub-set of the egg-mat network operated by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. The sub-set inlcudes two sites, 1. near an area commonly known as Shorty's Island, and 2. near the Kootenai River confluence with Myrtle Creek at an area commonly known as Myrtle Bend. The egg-mats consist of artificial substrate mats that are deployed and retrieved every 24-48 hours by IDFG personnel. The egg-mat material is designed to trap [...]

Purpose

These data are intended to be combined with bathymetric, surficial sediment facies, and streamflow characteristics to describe the physical habitat occupied by Kootenai River white sturgeon during spawning and early-life phases. These data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) or other software to display the Kootenai River White Sturgeon Egg-Mat Network near Shorty's Island and Myrtle Bend operated by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game.
