Abstract:We present two wide-field catalogues of photometrically selected emission line galaxies (ELGs) at z~=0.8 covering about 2800deg^2^ over the south galactic cap. The catalogues were obtained using a Fisher discriminant technique described in a companion paper. The two catalogues differ by the imaging used to define the Fisher discriminant: the first catalogue includes imaging from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Wide-field InfraredSurvey Explorer, the second also includes information from the South Galactic Cap U-band Sky Survey. Containing respectively 560045 and 615601 objects, they represent the largest ELG catalogues available today and were designed for the ELG programme of the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic
