I am trying to find any methods or models, preferably using ArcMap and spatial data, to produce Habitat Suitability Indexes along a river for three freshwater fish species and/or benthic macroinvertebrates.
To produce Habitat suitability you can use presence data and environmental variables (such: Water depth and temperature, and other data required for species). Then, using existing habitat modeling methods (such as Logistics, Maximum Entropy, and Ecological Niche Factor Analysis), predict suitable habitats.
