Table: ATL_LOV_SAMPLE_UNIT

The type of sample unit describes how the target population is divided to form the sample frame. In most cases, the sample frame is based on units of gear or targeted weights of fish, however, other sample unit types are possible. This is information is necessary for the observer to identify the sample unit type when they define their sample frame and the observer would have it readily available for each haul. Note that a spatial-temporal frame generally uses a spatial sample frame and sample unit type (gear segments, flow-scale weights). The temporal component is used to estimate the appropriate time to arrive at the sample station.Unit Code indictes the type of sample unit (time, weight, etc. )
