Fish occurrence in the Kama River Basin (Russia).

Abstract

Dataset contains information on fish occurrences in the Kama River Basin (Russian Federation). The Kama River is the largest tributary (1805 km) of the Volga River and is geographically often considered the main river due to the larger volume of water at their confluence. Dataset is based on our own field studies conducted during 2008-2021. It includes 6,447 occurrences relating to 48 taxa, 46 of which were identified at species level and two at the genus level. All occurrences have coordinates and belong to 13 families of Actinopterygii. All presented data are published for the first time.
