Data Attributes

Attribute Summary

	Name	Type	Description
100	cruiseNum	VARCHAR2	Abbreviated vessel name and the vessel trip number; used as the first component of the Fish Data Num.
100	vessel	VARCHAR2	The research vessel performing the operation, this could include the main ship (OES & SE) or the small boats deployed from the ship.
100	location	VARCHAR2	The general location (island, atoll, region) where the fish was caught.
100	startDate	DATE	The date of the beginning of fishing operations or other event.
100	driftNum	NUM	The drift number which begins with 1 each day fishing operations occur aboard the small boats or the Oscar Elton Sette.
100	startDriftTime	NUM	The time the drift started using the 24-hour clock. The time of the 1st drift for each day is the start fishing time used to calculate the total fishing time in minutes.
100	startDepthFm	NUM	The depth when the drift started recorded in fathoms.
100	startLatDeg	NUM	The degrees latitude of the beginning of the drift. The time for the first drift is considered the start fishing time used to calculate total fishing time in minutes. These are recorded as written on the data sheets; a calculated field is used for visualization purposes in decimal degrees.
100	startLatMin	NUM	The latitude minutes of the beginning of the drift.
100	startLatS	NUM	The latitude seconds of the beginning of the drift.
100	startLongDeg	NUM	The degrees longitude of the beginning of the drift.
100	startLongMin	NUM	The longitude minutes of the beginning of the drift.
100	startLongS	NUM	The longitude seconds of the beginning of the drift.
100	endDriftTime	NUM	The time the drift ended using the 24-hour clock.
100	endDepthFM	NUM	The depth when the drift ended recorded in fathoms.
100	endLatDeg	NUM	The degrees latitude of the end of the drift or event.
100	endLatMin	NUM	The latitude minutes of the end of the drift or event.
100	endLatSec	NUM	The latitude seconds of the end of the drift or event.
100	endLongDeg	NUM	The degrees longitude of the end of the drift or event.
100	endLongMin	NUM	The longitude minutes of the end of the drift or event.
100	endLongS	NUM	The longitude seconds of the end of the drift or event.
100	species	VARCHAR	The species caught, if any, during the drift, trap retrieval, or while using any other type of gear. This is ideally converted from latin/hawaiian into four-letter species codes. When unclear or unavailable, data entry personnel replicated what is written on the sheet.
100	ziptie	VARCHAR2	The unique numerical identifier for the fish; if none was assigned, this value is "NO TAG" OR "RELEASED". This was not consistently created or recorded on all cruises. Occasionally, a 'boat tag number' or other unique identifier containing letters and numbers was used; thus the format for this field is somewhat variable. Users should NOT assume that each entry is unique.
100	notes	VARCHAR2	Notes written by the fisherman or data entry personnel.
100	startLat_DD	NUM	A calculated field indicated the latitude of the drift's start in decimal degrees.
100	startLong_DD	NUM	A calculated field indicated the longitude of the drift's start in decimal degrees.
100	endLat_DD	NUM	A calculated field indicated the latitude of the drift's end in decimal degrees.
100	endLong_DD	NUM	A calculated field indicated the longitude of the drift's end in decimal degrees.
