Habitat Suitability Indices for 14 Freshwater Fish Species in South Korea, 2007-2024

14 freshwater fish species in South Korea have habitat suitability indices developed from data collected at 195 study sites between 2007 and 2024. Seounghwan Park created multiple indices using a resource selection function approach fitted with a generalized linear mixed model. The dataset includes generalized and stream habitat-type-specific models for sand-bed and gravel-bed streams.

Use Cases

• Modeling habitat suitability for freshwater fish conservation based on regional- and local-scale environmental variables.
• Estimating environmental flows for river management based on species-specific habitat requirements.
• Classifying stream habitats into sand-bed and gravel-bed types for targeted conservation strategies.
• Applying a resource selection function and GLMM framework to other hydrological and ecological systems.

Strengths

• Data spans 17 years, from 2007 to 2024.
• Models are based on observations from 195 distinct study sites.
• Indices are developed for 14 different freshwater fish species.
• Provides both generalized and habitat type-specific (sand-bed, gravel-bed) models.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is geographically limited to South Korean streams.
