Fish Barrier Map Information Fields
Information on what the attribution fields refer to. Once in the map, click on barrier waypoint (small circle) to access this information and details for each barrier.
| GIS Alias | Full Text and Meaning |
| BarrierID: | Unique geo-referenced identification number for each potential or actual barrier |
| Q1_StmOrdr: | Question 1: Stream order the potential barrier is located on. |
| Q2LandUse: | Question 2: Landuse. The proportion of intensive land use within the sub-catchment the potential barrier is located in. |
| Q3Bar_DStr: | Question 3: Number of potential barriers located downstream of the potential barrier in question |
| Q5_DisNxtB: | Question 5: Distance to the next potential barrier upstream |
| Q4_Score: | Question 4: Barriers geographic location within the sub-catchment, i.e. Distance (km) of sub-catchment upstream of the barrier as a proportion (%) of the total sub-catchment stream network (km). |
| Stg1_Scr: | Stage 1 Score: The sum of all five questions after stage 1 of the barrier prioritisation. |
| Stg1_Rnk: | Stage 1 Rank: Potential barriers rank after stage 1 of the prioritisation process. |
| Waterway: | Waterway Name. |
| Barr_Name: | Potential Barrier Name and/or Brief Barrier Description |
| Q6BarType: | Question 6: Barrier Type (Barrier headloss). |
| Q7StrmCond: | Question 7: Stream Condition. Riparian, bed and bank condition. |
| Q8FlowCond: | Question 8: Stream Flow Classification. Perennial, seasonal or supplemented? |
| Q9HabCond: | Question 9: Instream Fish Habitat Condition. Snags, pool, run, riffle, macrophytes, undercut banks? |
| Q10ProxEst: | Question 10: Barriers proximity to estuarine habitats |
| Stge2_Scr: | Stage 2 Score |
| Stge1_2_Sc: | The sum of Stage 1 and Stage 2 scores |
| Q11_Cost: | Question 11: Estimated cost of barrier remediation i.e. cost to construct fishway |
| Q12_ComSup: | Question 12: Community & in-kind Support within the sub-catchment the barrier is located in, i.e. NRM Creek rehabilitation project or Council provide in-kind excavator |
| Q13Tech_V: | Question 13: Technical viability. How difficult is the fishway to design, construct and maintain? |
| Q14_Produc: | Question 14: Fisheries Productivity & Economic Benefits of providing unimpeded connectivity past the barrier |
| Q15Conserv: | Question 15: Conservation Significance. Will improved connectivity benefit listed fish species? |
| Q16Transpa: | Question 16:Barrier Transparency. How often are fish able to ascend past the barrier? |
| Stge3_Scr: | Sum of all questions in stage 3. |
| Tot_3_Stge: | Sum of all 3 stages (total score) |
| Final_Rnk: | Barriers Priority Rank after 3 stages of the barrier prioritisation. Rank 1 = most important fish barrier in the targeted area. |
| Visit: | Was the barrier visited (ground-truthed) in the field, Y = Yes, N= No. |
