Fish Data Submission
New: Update 1 (Nov 12, 2009): This follow-up to an earlier update is to notify users of this site that a new procedure for ‘Online Submission’ will be in effect Dec 07, 2009. We will be replacing the ‘FTP site’ upload (Step 1) and ‘Fish Data Submission Form’ (Step 2) by providing access to a Microsoft Windows SharePoint ‘On-line Fish Data Submissions’ page to upload your data submissions and provide your submission information.
Potential submitters to this site should be aware that a “BCeID” or Provincial Government employee IDIR account will be required. If you require a BCeID, and do not currently have one, you can register for one through https://www.bceid.ca/register/. Several BCeID account “types” are available, however, the simplest option is to register for a “Basic BCeID" and then select Register without specifying an Online Service. Please retain your BCeID account username and password to access the new ‘Online Submission page'. If you have any questions regarding the change in procedure or acquiring a “BCeID” contact us at fishdatasub@gov.bc.ca.
Update 2 (June 10, 2009): In addition to, but not replacing the ‘minimum data standards’, the Ministry of Environment requests that all project deliverables such as digital reports, maps or databases also be submitted. We will accept this information for inclusion into EcoCat (our public reports catalogue), for the benefit of all future information seekers and fish conservation.

The Fish Data Submission website is a service for fisheries managers, biologists, technicians and contractors to submit their fisheries data and sampling information to the Province.
Around the province, fisheries information and data are gathered by individuals and companies as part of scientific or environmental studies. The Fish Data Submission service has been developed to facilitate the submission process.
You must submit data through this service if you:
- Have been issued a Scientific Fish Collection Permit by the Province of BC. Note: If you did not utilize your permit (conduct sampling) you still must complete Step 2. Data Submission Form
- Have completed a Forest Investment Account (FIA) project within the Fish and Fish Habitat or Aquatic Biological and Physical Monitoring eligible activities
- Have been directed to do so by a Province of BC or Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) authority
You may also be able to submit through this service if you:
- Have non-permitted Fish and Fish Habitat information and have consulted and received permission from a BC Ministry of Environment (MoE) data submission specialist fishdatasub@gov.bc.ca
There are minimum data standards and reporting formats that are required when submitting your fisheries information and data to this service. Adherence to the submission standards is critical and is required so that any data or information submitted will be compatible with the province's fisheries datasets. For more information, please consult the minimum data standards and reporting formats.
To submit your sampling information you are required to submit online through a two step process. To complete this two step process you need to upload your fish data submission files, and complete the required Fish Data Submission Form
If you have questions about any part of the Fish Data Submission process, please email question to fishdatasub@gov.bc.ca.
