Description
At the large fish markets fish landings of the important migratory fish species (Atlantic sturgeon, Atlantic salmon, seatrout and allis shad) on the large rivers and coastal waters were reported weekly, monthly and/or anually in the period 1860-1907. Data were digitalized into a database from the historic reports.
Data Records
The data in this occurrence resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 19,700 records.
1 extension data tables also exist. An extension record supplies extra information about a core record. The number of records in each extension data table is illustrated below.
This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

Taxonomic Coverage
Most important migratory species for commercial fisheries. These species all became extinct in the 20th century due to over fishing, pollution and river regulation.
| Species | Salmo salar (Atlantic salmon), Acipenser sturio (Atlantic sturgeon), Alosa alosa (Allis shad) |

Sampling Methods
Large seine nets, fyke nets and drift nets (gill nets) used by commercial fishermen
| Study Extent | On the large rivers mainly large seine nets (zegen), fyke nets (zalmsteek) and drift nets (gill nets) were used to catch migratory species. On the Wadden Sea migratory species were mainly a by-catch of other fisheries. |

Method step description:
- Fish landed by fisherman were sold at fish markets. The numbers (and sometimes weight) of fish were registered and reported. The reported data was digitalized into this database, with the location of the fish market and its indicative geographic coördinates.
