Data Collection Forms
The NB Aquatic Data Warehouse, NB Department of Natural Resources, NB Wildlife Council and NB Department of Environment have collaborated to create standardized data collection forms for various fisheries and environmental monitoring activities. The manual and forms below ensure that data is collected at the same level of detail and in the same manner:
- Fisheries Data Collection Forms Manual
- Water Temperature Data Logger Form
- Fish Stocking Form
- Electrofishing Forms: Electrofishing Site Form; Electrofishing Field Tally Form; Electrofishing Data Summary Form Part 1: Electrofishing Data Summary Form Part 2
- Individual Fish Measurements Form
- Aquatic Habitat Enhancement / Restoration Form
- Environmental Stream Survey Form - English form, French form
- Water Flow Calculation Form
These forms provide space to record many important details related to the specific activity, including particulars on the sampling site and methods used. Users should complete all applicable spaces on the forms. Accurately identifying the location of the activity is particularly important. Please record GPS coordinates if available, water body identification numbers (from NB Aquatic Data Warehouse), and textual descriptions. You may also note the locations on a 1:50,000 topographic map.
Upon completing the activity, please forward copies of all data, including paper forms, maps, and electronic files, such as digital photographs of sites, data logger output files, GPS coordinates, spreadsheets, Access files, etc., to one of the addresses below:
