Full Citation Examples
Vemco fish tag receivers are deployed on 7 of the 10 buoys throughout the Chesapeake Bay. Both data logging receivers (VR2W) and real-time receivers (VR2C) are used. The buoys that are equipped with the receivers include First Landing, Jamestown, Stingray Point, Point Lookout, Gooses Reef, Annapolis and Patapsco.
Distribution Information
The data is accessible to the researchers who own the receivers.

| Security Class: | Unclassified |
|---|---|
| Data Access Procedure: |
The data are downloaded from the receivers after deployments. The data is archived and sent to the researcher's who own the receivers (SERC). |

Data Quality
| Quality Control Procedures Employed: |
The fish tag receiver data (both from real time and data logging receivers) is stored in the raw file format. The receivers detect tags that are within a 1 km radius and report the tag information. Unlike the rest of the CBIBS data, the fish tag receiver data does not get assigned flags. Once the new CBIBS middleware is in place (includng QARTOD standards) and the MATOS system is further developed, the fish tag receiver data may undergo different quality control procedures. |

Data Management
| Have Resources for Management of these Data Been Identified?: | Yes |
|---|---|
| Approximate Percentage of Budget for these Data Devoted to Data Management: | ~35% |
| Do these Data Comply with the Data Access Directive?: | No |
| Is Access to the Data Limited Based on an Approved Waiver?: | No |
| Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Dissemination: | <10 minutes |
| If Delay is Longer than Latency of Automated Processing, Indicate Under What Authority Data Access is Delayed: |
Real time data delay is less than 10 minutes. Data logging receivers are deployed for a couple months and then the data is downloaded. |
| Actual or Planned Long-Term Data Archive Location: | To Be Determined |
| If To Be Determined, Unable to Archive, or No Archiving Intended, Explain: |
The raw Vemco data currently is not processed through a QC system. The data from both real time receivers and data logging receivers is stored at NCBO and given to a researcher at SERC who owns several receivers. When MATOS is complete, the data will be integrated and stored in that system. |
| Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Archiving: | ~3 months |
| How Will the Data Be Protected from Accidental or Malicious Modification or Deletion Prior to Receipt by the Archive?: |
All data operations and storage take place on secure FISMA-compliant servers. |
Lineage
| Lineage Statement: |
The VR2W receivers are data logging and not real-time, so after a deployment, must be recovered and the data downloaded. The VR2Cs transmit real-time, however the data is still downloaded from the instrument too. The data is then archived and sent to the researchers who own the instrument. |
