Fish Data Submission
Reporting Formats
Field
Data Information System (FDIS)
Ideally,
we would like people to use the Field
Data Information System (or FDIS for short), to enter
and store their data. Although FDIS is very comprehensive
in the type of data it will accept, you need only complete
the information to satisfy the minimum
data submission requirements. Detailed habitat and sampling
information would not be required if it was not collected.
However, if additional habitat and sampling information was
collected and you wish to provide it, using FDIS will greatly
streamline the inclusion of your data in the provincial databases.
Microsoft
Excel
We
recognize many contractors unfamiliar with FDIS will not want
to learn a new system. In light of this, we have put together
an Excel
spreadsheet template (625KB) that could be used by
Permit Holders to submit their
information as an Excel file.
Other
File Formats
Currently,
the only choices for meeting the minimum data submission requirements
are FDIS or Excel as indicated above. However, if you wish
to provide information in addition to the minimum data requirements,
written reports and/or maps will be accepted if submitted
in digital form. Adobe PDF's are the preferred format for
reports and maps, Excel and Access are preferred for custom
spreadsheets and databases.
If
you have questions about the minimum formats and standards,
please send an email to fishdatasub@gov.bc.ca.
