Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture Mark Hudy, US Forest Service Teresa Thieling, US Forest Service 2006 vector digital data The Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture (EBTJV) is a partnership between state and federal agencies, nongovernmental conservation organizations, and academia. The EBTJV is focused on an effort to protect, restore, and enhance brook trout populations throughout the historic range of the Eastern brook trout. One of the goals of the EBTJV was to produce a subwatershed dataset indicating the current distribution of brook trout populations and their perturbations. This data will aid in quantifying problems, identifying information gaps, and setting restoration priorities. The subwatershed classifications are based on a combination of quantitative information collected by state agencies and qualitative judgment calls by local experts. This dataset is part of the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture and is part of a collaborative effort to determine the distribution, status, and perturbations to brook trout throughout their historic native range in the eastern United States. 2006 publication date Complete None planned -84.921378 -66.036941 49.459651 32.368076 None Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture EBTJV subwatersheds HUC 6 eastern brook trout NBII Biocomplexity Thesaurus Aquatic ecosystems Freshwater Ecosystems None animals single species Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) Unknown http://www.itis.usda.gov/ Empire Biovitae Carbon-based lifeforms Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Subphylum Vertebrata Superclass Osteichthyes Class Actinopterygii Subclass Neopterygii Infraclass Teleostei Superorder Protacanthopterygii Order Salmoniformes Family Salmonidae Subfamily Salmoninae Genus Salvelinus Species fontinalis brook trout, eastern brook trout None None Mark Hudy USDA Forest Service National Aquatic Ecologist - East mailing address
