major study components currently included within the overall database are: telemetry study, <br />larval fishes study, creel survey, water quality monitoring, USGS flow data, grid electroshocking <br />data, IFIM random habitat data. Additionally, spatial location information on the river, reach and <br />site is included, as is information on the different fish species found within the lower Platte <br />River. The relationships between the data base tables and some of their associated fields can be <br />seen in Figure 3.9. <br />Currently data have been completely entered for the spatial location information in the <br />River, Reach, and Site tables, the Habitat Type tables, and the Species Information tables. The <br />species information table was developed using the coding system compatible with Nebraska <br />Game and Park Commission's WinFin software. The larval fish database has 4,742 records <br />entered. The telemetry study has 906 records entered and includes both wild and hatchery- reared <br />pallid sturgeon data and shovelnose sturgeon data. The water quality monitoring is complete up <br />to March of 2002. Importing data for the other projects has not yet begun, although most of the <br />data has been assembled in Microsoft Excel format. Additional data entry will continue in 2002 <br />as needed to complete the integration of past data collections into the database. <br />GIS <br />The development of the database is the first important step in creating a functional GIS <br />for the lower Platte River Project. This step is well underway. In addition to the database <br />development, current activities in the GIS portion of this project have focused on data acquisition <br />and conversion. The GIS data collected are listed in Table 3.6. After files are collected, they are <br />converted into a consistent file format and reprojected into a consistent spatial projection for use <br />in the lower Platte River GIS. <br />18 ��'— <br />
