Geographic Coverage
The Tsurumi River, which flows through Tokyo and Kanagawa prefectures in Japan, has been urbanized since the 1950s, and 85% of the river basin is now comprises urban areas. This data reports the results of a survey of the fish fauna of a tributary river for which information is lacking.

Project Data
Surveys were conducted at 71 sites in the Tsurumi River Basin during summers and winters, focusing on river channels that have been straightened or converted to concrete channels due to urbanization. As a result of this investigation, 10 families, 28 species, and 9,335 individuals were collected.

| Funding | This work was supported by a JSPS KAKENHI grant [grant number JP19H02250] |
| Study Area Description | This study was conducted on the Tsurumi River, which flows through Tokyo and Kanagawa prefectures in Japan (length of the main river channel: 43 km, basin area: 235 km2). The Tsurumi River flows through a large metropolitan area, and the land use in the basin is approximately 85% urban and 15% forest and farmland, with overcrowded urban areas distributed throughout the basin. |
| Design Description | The fish survey was conducted using a pulsed DC Smith-Root Model LR-24 backpack electrofisher (Smith-Root Inc., Vancouver, WA, U.S.A.) at each habitat (rapid, run, pool, glide, slack, and backwater) of the 71 stations. The length of the survey section was one reach (approximately ten times the width of the river channel). |

Sampling Methods
The fish survey was conducted using a pulsed DC Smith-Root Model LR-24 backpack electrofisher (Smith-Root Inc., Vancouver, WA, U.S.A.) at each habitat (rapid, run, pool, glide, slack, and backwater) of the 71 stations.
| Study Extent | The investigation of fish fauna was conducted at 71 stations in the Tsurumi River basin (Fig. 1), mainly in environmentally degraded tributaries where data on fish fauna has not yet been collected. The survey was conducted during summer (August 20 to October 5, 2021) and winter (December 28 to February 8, 2022). |
