Summary

This dataset includes two series of data. The first series contains growth model coefficients for >90 fish species in the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS). These models were fit form empirical length and weight data observed from 1993-2007 during routine annual scientific monitoring of the UMRS fish community under a federal/state partnership program known as the Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) program (see: https://umesc.usgs.gov/ltrm-home.html, accessed 3/18/2020). To achieve growth model coefficients for each fish species, length and weight data were log10 transformed and fit using statistical regression techniques (Proc GLM in SAS v 9.4). Model coefficients representing the regression y-intercept, regression slope, [...]
