Salmonids are a large family of ray-finned fish in North America .

They provide food and nutrients for other animals and are indicators of ecosystem health.

But we still don't know much about the relative abundance of these fishes globally.

Reasons for decline include habitat loss and degradation, river regulation, over-exploitation, aquaculture and climate change.

The dataset includes biomass data for 11 salmonid species and contains multiple variables that could affect biomass.

Scientists around the world can update the dataset in the coming years with additional data, such as temperature.

Rivers are naturally dynamic, shifting their course as they move across floodplains.

Improving river mobility will lead to more long-term sustainable restoration, says Kyleisha Foote .
