Fish Species Counts from Three New Brunswick Lakes

Fish species counts from Miramichi, McKiel, and Nashwaak Lakes characterize freshwater food webs. Fisheries and Oceans Canada collected data using stable isotope analysis, gut content morphology, and DNA techniques. The dataset was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze species distribution patterns using spatial point data across the three lakes.
• Model food web interactions by correlating stable isotope signatures with species counts.
• Assess community composition and biodiversity through species count data per lake.

Strengths

• Data collected using multiple methods: stable isotopes, gut content morphology, and DNA.
• Covers three distinct lakes: Miramichi, McKiel, and Nashwaak.

Limitations

• Unknown row count and dataset size limit statistical analysis.
• Geographic scope is limited to three lakes in New Brunswick, Canada.
