Abstract

This dataset corresponds with the inland fisheries collaboration between the Land and Water Lab at the University of Florida and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. An online survey of fisheries professionals distributed in June-September 2020 yielded 536 responses from 93 unique hydrological basins across most major freshwater habitat types. Provided here are the raw survey dataset generated from participant responses, a formatted dataset intended for reuse, a reference key to numeric values and column headers, a reference key to region identifiers, and the script used to generate the formatted dataset and figures used in the paper titled, "A global dataset of inland fisheries expert knowledge."
