| Title: | ALS.DISTANCE_CODE_ALS - The lookup table for the distance code in the Accumlated Landings System (ALS). |
|---|---|
| Short Name: | DISTANCE_CODE_ALS |
| Status: | In Work |
| Abstract: |
Distance from Shore is a common element in determining fishing area and jurisdiction. Codes indicate range of nautical miles from shore within which fishing occurred. |
| Purpose: |
To provide a lookup for distance from shore coding in the ALS. |
| Notes: |
New codes and descriptions were added 4/9/2013. Coding in this field is inconsistent. • North Carolina – some apparent typos in 1964, in use from 1972-present. South Atlantic Shrimp has distance from 1978-1992. • South Carolina – some apparent typos in 1964 and 1970. In use from 1972 – present. South Atlantic Shrimp have distance data from 1979-2000. • Georgia – some apparent typos in 1964. In use from 1972 – present. South Atlantic shrimp have distance from 1978-2000. • Florida – In Florida annual canvass data 1976-1996. In Florida South Atlantic shrimp from 1981-1992. No distance data after 1996. • Alabama – some apparent typos in 1964. In use from 1973-2001. • Mississippi – In use from 1973-2015 • Louisiana – In use from 1973-1993. Louisiana Menhaden (MN) from 1995-1997. • Texas – From 1972-1977 and from 1984-1992. • Gulf Shrimp (whichone=’GS’) None. |
