Knowledge resources

The knowledge resource tab contains links to online resources such as Fishbase and other useful websites.  You will need to have access to the internet to access the links.  To add links to the list, simply put the cursor in the window and type/copy new links to other useful resources with a short description.

The knowledge resource tab also provides access to the habitat suitability models built by Environment Agency Fisheries experts for 9 fish species and 3 life stages. To view these models, click on the 'Expert habitat suitability models' button.

A form with 5 tabs and 9 buttons (one for each species) will open.  Using this form, users can view in a graphical way the habitat features (in blue) and the pressures (in orange) that define/affect fish habitats at different stages of their life cycles.

This tool can be used in combination with all the other tools and datasets available in ToolHab to assess the quality of river reaches for fish and the potential pressures and impacts on their habitats.  We have tried, as far as possible to include in ToolHab all the data that are needed to carry out this assessment.
