GL_LAKE_ONTARIO_2023 ESI FISH Polygons, Points
These feature classes reside within the BIOLOGY Feature Data Set of the Lake Ontario 2023 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector polygons and points representing FISH data for Lake Ontario.
The study area includes the United States portion of Lake Ontario, covering the islands in New York: Association Island, Bass Island, Calf Island, Carl Island, Cherry Island, Eagle Island, Fox Island, Galloo Islands, Grenadier Island, Horse Island, Hoveys Island, Six Point Town, and Stony Island. Major Lake Ontario bays mapped include: Black River Bay, Blind Sodus Bay, Braddock Bay, Chaumont Bay, Guffin Bay, Irondequoit Bay, Henderson Bay, Little Sodus Bay, Mexico Bay, Port Bay, Sawyer Bay, and Sodus Bay.
These data sets contain sensitive biological resource data for freshwater fish species in Lake Ontario. Vector polygons in this data set represent fish distribution, concentration areas, and spawning areas. Vector points in this data set represent fish spawning areas.
Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in associated data tables (described in Entity Attribute Overview below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Lake Ontario.
As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources.
