Description
The dataset contains records of fish species obtained during ichthyological and hydroecological research in different areas of the Irpin River basin. The dataset contains records of 40 fish species registered in the Irpin River basin.
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 1,213 records.
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.

Sampling Methods
Ichthyological catches and photo registration were carried out at local points in different parts of the basin based on standard field research methods. Ichthyological nets and fishing rods were used for fishing. Data on catches of amateur fishermen were included, and dead fish were collected to determine species affiliation. Before fishing, photo and video recordings of fish in the water area were carried out. Field research was carried out in different biotopes in all seasons. Approaches and methods of catching and identifying fish species are taken from the literary sources: Movchan Yu.V. (2011). Fishes of Ukraine. Kyiv: Zoloti Vorota. 444 pp. (Ukr.); Kottelat M., Freyhof J. (2007). Handbook of European freshwater fishes. Switzerland: Delemont. 646 p.
