- Description:
- Michigan lakes are an important resource, however, their ecosystems are declining and projected to continue to face further impacts under future land use and climate change. Understanding how lake ecosystems respond to environmental stressors and management actions is critical for identifying resilient lakes and developing adaptation strategies. However, the ability to manage lakes is hampered by a lack of historical information. Historical lake data in Michigan were originally archived as index cards at the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. All of the images of these cards are stored in this collection, Collections, Heterogeneous data, and Next Generation Ecological Studies (CHANGES) - Michigan Lake Surveys, and the images for this specific dataset are stored in the CHANGES Project- Fish Growth Analysis (GROW) dataset. The CHANGES project used a crowd sourcing platform called Zooniverse to transcribe at least basic information (i.e. dates, collected by) from all of these cards. Some of the card types, such as the one in this dataset, were prioritized to transcribe to produce a usable (i.e. machine-readable, uniform, and standardized) historical dataset. and Fish growth cards document fish that were aged and measured during fish surveys. The data that were transcribed from these cards and included in this dataset (grow_data.csv) are for each fish species: the number of fish measured in each age group, and the minimum, maximum, and average length of the fish for each age group. The final growth dataset includes length-at-age information for 36 different species (grow_species_table). For a description of all fields of this data table see grow_datadictionary.

- Description:
- Archives at the Institute for Fisheries Research (IFR) hold records of thousands of lake surveys from the University of Michigan and Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The records contained in this dataset are jpeg images of the index card records from the IFR surveys. Images include the front of the card and when available, the back of a card., Length/Weight Regression cards show the length-weight regression for specific fish species. The fish species, number measures, and length range is captured for each species. For a given length, weight is calculated from the regression and compared to a reference weight such as a state average weight., and The coefficients for Michigan fishes can be found here: Schneider, James C., P. W. Laarman, and H. Gowing. 2000. Length-weight relationships. Chapter 17 in Schneider, James C. (ed.) 2000. Manual of fisheries survey methods II: with periodic updates.

Information on gear type is also included. These summary card often complement the GROW cards.

The records contained in this dataset are jpeg images of the index card records from the IFR surveys. Images include the front of the card and when available, the back of a card. and Fish Growth Cards report information on the age and length of fishes captured in lake surveys. The age of a fish was determined by counting annual rings on hard structures including scales, spines and otoliths (fish ear bones).
