Spawning Area Coordinate system: 4269 - "NAD83" Abstract: This data set is a polygon feature that identifies spawning areas. A spawning area is an area where a species of fish habitually spawns. Supplementary tables can be used and are available for download from the additional documentation section. Supplementary look-up table descriptions are available in the Data Description document, which is available for download from the additional documentation section. This layer is part of what was known as the OMNR Non-Fundamental Dataset.
