- 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.

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- Lake Summary (SUMM) 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 Lake summary cards that we transcribed and curated include habitat information for a lake as well as observed fish species (summ_data.csv). These variables include anthropogenic lake characteristics such as fishing intensity, shoreline structures, and dams; lake morphometric characteristics like depth and area; as well as in situ measures of temperature, dissolved oxygen, and Secchi depth. Many of the characteristics were listed as a range, and therefore, have a column for minimum and maximum in the data file (e.g. temp_surface_min_c and temp_surface_max_c). In addition, the lake summary cards listed the fish species present, so the csv file includes columns with the fish species common name (summ_species_table) and corresponding values are either a ‘1’ representing presence of a species or ‘0’ representing absence. For a full description of all the fields of this data table see summ_datadictionary.

These records include information on the gear types used, the area surveyed and the length and mesh size of nets fished. The number and common name of fish species caught were recorded as well and included in a species table (fishc_species_table). A description of all data fields can be found in the fishc_datadictionary.
