This map service represents the FWMIS Species Inventory and contains representations of the Walleye Lentic Fish Sustainability Index, Northern Pike Lentic Fish Sustainability Index, Lake Trout Fish Sustainability Index, Other Fish Species Fish Sustainability Index, Invasive Species Observations, Fish Inventories Fish Survey, Fish Inventories Aquatic Habitat. Fish Inventories Fish Culture Stocking and the FWMIS Waterbody - Species Presence for the public web application FWIMT Pub.FWMIS Hydrology Arcs are used to identify spatial representation of streams and rivers within the province of Alberta. This layer provides fish species presence (both current and historic), Fish and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS) Waterbody ID, Waterbody Official and Common Names, and Strahler Stream Order information. FWMIS Waterbody ID's are unique values assigned to mapped waterbodies with or without fish or fish habitat survey information (both current and historic).Fish and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS) - Hydrology Arcs is a derived dataset from the Base Features Derived Simplified Linear Network, which is a derived dataset of the Single Line Hydrography Network (Base Stream and Flow Representation) dataset. FWMIS Hydrology Arcs has been modified for Fish and Wildlife business purposes, where spatial adjustments and field attributes have been added or removed as required. Modifications include, but are not limited to, the addition of a 'Species Presence' field, edits to spatial and aspatial components, removal of topological error, and semi-annual maintenance as required.FWMIS Hydropolygons are based off of the Base Features Waterbody Polygon (Base Waterbody Polygon) dataset and are used to identify spatial representation of mapped waterbodies within the province of Alberta. This layer provides fish species presence (both current and historic), Fish and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS) Waterbody ID, and Waterbody Official and Common Name. FWMIS Waterbody ID's are unique values assigned to mapped waterbodies with or without fish or fish habitat survey information (both current and historic).Fish and Wildlife Management Information System (FWMIS) - Hydrology polygons is a derived dataset from the Base Features Waterbody Polygon (Base Waterbody Polygon) dataset. Base Waterbody Polygon is the Alberta Environment and Parks base hydrography polygon dataset, and comprises seamless provincial extent hydrography polygon features collected from various sources of provincial base and resource map based data and some federal topographic data. FWMIS Hydropolygon has been modified for Fish and Wildlife business purposes, where spatial adjustments and field attributes have been added or removed as required. Modifications include, but are not limited to, the addition of a 'Species Presence' field, edits to spatial and aspatial components, removal of topological error, and semi-annual maintenance as required.Data Use LimitationsFWMIS Hydrography DataGENERAL PUBLIC: This digital data is protected under copyright to the Government of Alberta with all rights reserved and is subject to the conditions outlined in the Informatics Branch License Agreement for Digital Data. GOVERNMENT OF ALBERTA MINISTRIES: Government of Alberta Ministries and authorized agencies may conditionally use this data for internal business purposes which includes conditional sharing of the data with other third parties (i.e., contractors, stakeholders) if necessary for reasonable use of the data relating to the provision of services to the Crown as represented by each Ministry. Species Presence represents a historic listing of fish species that have been sampled in a particular body of water and/or what species have been captured/stocked as a result of a fisheries inventory. Any species listed indicates it was captured/measured anywhere along that waterbody, and not a specific location. At time of use, the user assumes all responsibility for discrepancies with data contained in FWMIS. FWMIS/FWIMT is the official holder of all fisheries inventory data, and should be consulted as the sole source of fisheries survey information. |
