Description
Crayfish is one of the most known invasive species in the rivers of the north of Spain. However, its interactions with other non-crustacean species is not well studied. This thesis analyses the habitat selection, the trophic ecology and the interactions of crayfish with fish species (Vedia I. 2016). To study these questions, fish surveys were perfomed in different rivers of northern Navarra (Spain). The records are presented in this dataset.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 3,032 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Geographic Coverage
All specimens were collected in 20 rivers of the Ebro basin in the north of Navarra: Arakil, Arañosil, Areta, Arga, Basaburua, Ega, Esca, Erro, Irati, Larraun, Legartza, Lizarrusti, Mediano, Orokieta, Salazar, Sorogain, Ubagua, Ultzama, Urederra, Urrobi and Zatoia

Taxonomic Coverage
All specimens were identified to the species level using the Guide to Freshwater Fish of Britain and Europe (Maitland P. S. & Linsell K., 1977). Seven species were recorded, five belonging to the Cyprinidae family (Barbus haasi, Gobio lozanoi, Luciobarbus graellsii, Parachondrostoma miegii and Phoxinus bigerri). The rest of the collected species belong to the families Salmonidae (Salmo trutta) and Nemacheilidae (Barbatula quignardi). In number of individuals, the most abundant family is Cyprinidae, with the 74% of the captures. Moreover, five species recorded in this dataset are endemic from the Iberian Peninsula one of them (Barbus haasi) is Vulnerable according to the IUCN Red List.

Project Data
This project aims to understand the interactions between the exotic crayfish and the native fish species to determine the impact of this alien species on the native freshwater fauna.

Sampling Methods
The main sampling method was electric fishing, using a back-pack electrofishing unit during 30 minutes. The captured individuals were sedated with 2-phenoxyethanol, identified, counted and measured (total length in mm). Then, fishes were returned to the river. Species identification was performed by R. Miranda and I. Vedia.
| Study Extent | The specimens were captured in 42 localities dispersed through 21 rivers of Navarra in the year 2013. |
|---|---|
| Quality Control | Species identification was performed by R. Miranda and I. Vedia using suitable literature (Maitland & Linsell 1977) and scientific names were validated using the W. N. Eschmeyer’s Catalog of Fishes (Eschmeyer 2014). Specimens were returned to the river. Darwin test software (v3.3 Ortega-Maqueda and Pando 2008) was used to check out possible mistakes in the coordinates, characters and the format of dates. |
Method step description:
- Specimens were sampled following the procedure described in the Sampling description section. The individuales were identified, measured and released. Field data was revised, digitalised and incorporated to the MZNA database (Zootron v4.5, Ariño 1991). The dataset was exported to DarwinCore v1.4 format and revised to correct errors to adequate it to DarwinCore standars. Metadata information was added and the Darwin Core Archive was incorporated to the Spanish GBIF IPT.

Additional Metadata
The Museum of Zoology (MZNA) was founded in 1980 as a repository of zoological materials originating from research and instructional activities of the department of Environmental Biology (proviously known as the department of Zoology and Ecology) of the University of Navarra. Nowadays MZNA store more than two millions specimens in its climate-controlled facilities. The Museum is a Data Provider for the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and is an Affiliate to the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN). The Museum is also in charge of the curation and management of the Natural History Collections of the School of Science of the University of Navarra (Spain). MZNA attends to reserchers around the world, make loans and accepts deposits.
| Purpose | The aim of the present data set is to provide all information of the records of freshwater fishes related with the project thesis of Iván Vedia. In this study, fish communities of the north of Navarra (Spain) were sampled to determine their interactions with the invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus). |
