Data Attribute / Type Description
PORT
VARCHAR2
A combined code for state, port and county. The port in which the vessel landed the catch.
STATE
VARCHAR2
The 2 digit numeric state code for the port of landing: <br> 07=CT; 08=DE; 22=ME; 23=MD; 24=MA; 32=NH; 33=NJ; 35=NY; 36=NC; 42=RI; 49=VA.
PORT2
VARCHAR2
The 3rd and 4th digit of the port code--meaningless without the rest of the port code.
COUNTY
VARCHAR2
Name of county., ex.ESSEX.
YEAR
VARCHAR2
The year in which the landings or negative report occurred.
LINK
VARCHAR2
The field (month-document) used to link species and biological sampling data to the trip information. Length of the link field depends on the year: pre 1994 document numbers (DOCN) were 4 characters; post 1993, 6 characters. For 1994+ allocated data, for CFDETTyyyyAA and CFDETSyyyyAA, LINK = (dlrtrpid, month, docn, subtrip); VARCHAR2(35); For CFAGEyyyyAA and CFLENyyyyAA, 1994 to 2003, Link = (dlrtrpid, month, docn, subtrip); For CFAGEyyyyAA and CFLENyyyyAA, 2004 to present, LINK = (month,docn,tallyno,sampno,linkpad) where linkpad is 15 zeros.
MONTH
VARCHAR2
The month (01-12) of the vessel landing or negative dealer report. 00 = unknown.
DOCN
VARCHAR2
Number assigned to each weighout form, or negative dealer report; Unique within a month. For 1994+ allocated data , DOCN column width is expanded, VARCHAR2(15).
AREA
VARCHAR2
The Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) Statistical Area code. See CFDBS Area Table (AREA) for actual codes. For 1994+ allocated data, if Area Level = A then NEMAREA is from the VTR trip. If Area Level = B, C,D then AREA is selected from a group of VTR trips with similar trip characteristics on a probabilistic basis. If Area Level = X then AREA is unknown.
NEMAREA
VARCHAR2
The NEMFIS Area, coded as the NAFO Statistical Area for federally collected data; a three digit code for internal state waters for state collected data. For 1994+ allocated data, if Area Level = A then NEMAREA is from the VTR trip. If Area Level = B, C,D then NEMAREA is selected from a group of VTR trips with similar trip characteristics on a probabilistic basis. If Area Level = X, then nemarea is unknown.
NESPP4
VARCHAR2
The 4-digit Northeast Species code; the fourth digit represents market category. See CFDBS Species Table (CFSPP) for actual codes. For discard species in the CFDISCyyyy and WODISCyy views, NESPP4 is redefined as NESPP3 preceded by a 9, e.g. yellowtail flounder is 9123.
NESPP3
VARCHAR2
The Northeast Species code, without the market category, i.e. the first 3 digits of NESPP4. See CFDBS Species Table (CFSPP) for actual codes.
QTR
VARCHAR2
The quarter of the calendar year in which weighout occurred: 1=January-March; 2=April-June; 3=July-September; 4=October-December.
NEGEAR
VARCHAR2
Northeast Gear code; 999=Unknown. See CFDBS Gear Table(GEAR) for actual codes. For 1994+ allocated data, negear is taken from the matched VTR trip when Area Level = A; negear is supplied by the Dealer when Area Level = B,C,D or X.
NEGEAR2
VARCHAR2
First two digits of the Northeast Gear code. See CFDBS Gear Table (GEAR) for actual codes.
SAMPMETH
NUMBER
The method used to sample the vessel's catch: 1=vessel or hold; 2=basket or bushel; 3=chute or conveyor; 4=cart,barrel,tub,large box; 5=bin, floor pile; 6=small box; 7=sorting table. See "Manual for Sampling, Interviewing and Coding for the Northeast Region" by R.I. Schultz.
CATDISP
VARCHAR2
Indicates if the catch from which the sample was taken was: <br> 0=discarded, 1=kept.
AGESTRCT
NUMBER
The structure retained for age determination: 0=No structure taken; 1=Scale; 2=Otoliths; 3=Shells; 4=Pen; 5=Vertebra; 6=Dorsal spine.
SEX
VARCHAR2
Sex code: 0=unsexed; 1=male; 2=female.
LENGTH
NUMBER
The length of specimen in centimeters.
NPAIRS
NUMBER
The number of length frequency pairs.
AGE
NUMBER
The age of specimen in years.
NUMAGE
NUMBER
The number of specimens at a given age.
NO_LEN_MATCH
VARCHAR2
Flag indicating that there is no matching length record for the age record.
