Summary

This is a duplicate dataset entry for the Scott Creek, California steelhead trout microplastics study (same as ID 1861), providing particle count, type, color, and size data from stream water and fish gut contents in a rural coastal watershed. Duplicate entry; the dataset offers baseline contamination data for a salmon-bearing stream in a relatively undisturbed California watershed.

Body Systems

This dataset supports the study of microplastic pollution in Scott Creek, a small coastal watershed in California, USA. It includes measurements of suspended microplastic in surface waters and the gastrointestinal (GI) tracts of juvenile Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Data include microplastic particle counts, types (fibers, fragments, shards, foams), colors, and sizes (<5 mm), collected across multiple sites and months. The dataset provides baseline information on microplastic occurrence in a minimally urbanized, salmon-bearing stream, offering critical context for evaluating ecological risks to native fish populations.
