Item Identification

Title: Southeast Region Finfish Age Database
Status: In Work
Abstract:

Data set includes port samples of reef fish species collected from commercial and recreational fishery landings in the U.S. South Atlantic (NC - FL Keys). The data set serves as an inventory of samples stored at the NMFS Beaufort Laboratory as well as final processed data. Information that may be inlcuded for each sample is trip level information, species, size meansurements, age, sex and reproductive data.

Purpose:

To characterize size and age composition of reef fish species

Access Information

Security Class: Sensitive
Data Access Procedure:

Please contact the data steward

Data Access Constraints:

Waiver Needed. Magnuson-Stevens Confidential--50 CFR, Part 600. Title IV, Section 402, subsection b. The referenced data set is made up of observations on individual fish and reports of catch and effort collected from individual commercial fishing vessels .

Data Quality

Quality Control Procedures Employed:

The electronic data in the database are compared to hard-copy data sheets and information recorded on physical sample containers. If the data do not match, the originator of the sample and data are contacted for corrections.

Lineage

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 283427
Description:

Physical age samples are received from port agents located from North Carolina through east coast of Florida and Florida Keys. Electronic data corresponding to samples are obtained from originator of the samples. The data are formatted to uniform codes, based on the NMFS TIP system codes, and uploaded to Access data base file. The data recorded on the sample containers is verified with electronic data. If samples match, the data is recieved into the database. If there are discrepancies, the port agent is notified and data are corrected. If the sample data cannot be rectified, then the physical sample cannot be used.
