Main types of variables contained: The database includes 11,386 time-series of riverine fish community catch data, including 646,270 species-specific abundance records together with metadata related to geographic location and sampling methodology of each time-series. The database contains 11,072 unique sampling locations (stream reach), spanning 19 countries, 5 biogeographic realms, and 402 hydrographic basins worldwide. Time period and grain: The database encompasses the period 1951–2019. Eachtime-series is composed of a minimum of two yearly surveys and represents a minimum time span of 10 years. Major taxa and level of measurement: The database includes 944 species of ray-finned fishes (Class Actinopterygii).Species abundanceBiodiversityConservationFreshwater streams and riversActinopterygiiTemporal trends <http://www.opengis.net/def/crs/OGC/1.3/CRS84> Polygon((-180 -90, -180 90, 180 90, 180 -90, -180 -90)) RivFishTIME Datahttps://idata.idiv.de/ddm/Data/DownloadZip/1873?version=5514Illinois State UniversityEnglish
