Completed
Table of variables collected by observers documenting the date, location, and basic gear and environmental characteristics of gear deployed during observed trips.

Documentation is not original, but is instead a result of a forensic comparison of an old electronic data file to actual paper data forms.

1
TRIP_ID
VARCHAR2(8 BYTE)
8
No
No
Active
Trip identification number. Format is JAYYXX; so a ‘JA’ is followed by the last two digits of the trip year and then a sequential trip number, which starts at 01 for each year. So ‘JA7802’ is the second trip observed in 1978. It should be noted that this ID number appears to have been generated well after data collection; it does not appear on data sheets.
2
HAUL_GEAR
VARCHAR2(5 BYTE)
5
No
No
Active
This 4 or 5 digit number represents the NMFS gear code for pelagic longline (675), prefixed by the haul number. So 12675 is the twelfth haul of this trip.
3
INCIDENTAL_TAKE
VARCHAR2(1 BYTE)
1
No
No
Active
This variable indicates if a turtle, marine mammal, or sea bird was caught during this haul (value=1) or there was no catch of these species (Value=0).
4
BOUYS
VARCHAR2(4 BYTE)
4
No
No
Active
Number of buoys used in the set. This variable tracks to the variable “NO. OF FLTS” on the paper data forms.
5
HOOKS
VARCHAR2(5 BYTE)
5
No
No
Active
Number of hooks used in the set. This variable tracks to the variable “NO. OF HOOKS” on the paper data forms.
6
BEGIN_SET_DATE
VARCHAR2(8 BYTE)
8
No
No
Active
Begin Set Date. The format is not quite straightforward. The last 4 digits are always the year, the two places preceding the year are the day of the month, although for single digit days there are no leading zeros, only a blank space. The one or two digits beginning the numeric string are the month, but this time with no space taking the place of a zero for single digit months; the single digit just starts the string. So for example October first 1979 is represented in the format 10 11979 and July 21st 1980 is represented as 7211980.
7
BEGIN_HAUL_DATE
VARCHAR2(8 BYTE)
8
No
No
Active
Begin Haul date. The format is not quite straightforward. The last 4 digits are always the year, the two places preceding the year are the day of the month, although for single digit days there are no leading zeros, only a blank space. The one or two digits beginning the numeric string are the month, but this time with no space taking the place of a zero for single digit months; the single digit just starts the string. So for example October first 1979 is represented in the format 10 11979 and July 21st 1980 is represented as 7211980.

2
No
No
Active
Hour, in 24 hour format, of the beginning of the set.
9
ES_HOUR
VARCHAR2(2 BYTE)
2
No
No
Active
Hour, in 24 hour format, of the end of the set.
10

12
BS_LAT

14
ES_LAT
VARCHAR2(4 BYTE)
4
No
