title: Data on black spot disease occurence in fish communities of lakes from Québec, Canada

description: This dataset is the result of a collaborative study on spatial ecology of the black spot disease in fish communities from the littoral zone of lakes located in Saint-Hippotyle, QC, Canada. Sampling occurred during summer 2022. Black spot occurence was assessed in fish samples through either minnow traps, seine nets or observational snorkeling transects. This data describe fish community matrix, infected fish community matrix and their environment. Habitat description and water chemistry measurements are given for transect samples. Geographical and morphometric lake attributes are also given.
