Description
Summary:The database contains biological and ecological data from freshwater fish collected from 16 lake localities situated on the Finnmarksvidda highland plateau from 2005 to 2009. Fish sampling was carried out after standard protocols using multimesh gillnets in littoral, pelagic and profundal habitats. Parameters include species, morphotype of whitefish, habitat, length, weight, age, sex, maturation, parasite infection, diet, stable isotopes (including from invertebrates). The prime focus is on European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus), the dominant fish species of most lakes, but samples have also been retreived from other species.
