Data Attributes

Attribute Summary

Rubric Score Primary Key? Name Type Description
100
CRUISE6 VARCHAR2 Code uniquely identifying cruise. The first four digits indicate the year and the last two digit uniquely identify the cruise within the year. The 5th byte signifies cruises other than groundfish: Shrimp survey = 7 (i.e. 201470), State of Massachusetts survey = 9 (i.e. 201491), Food habits = 5 (i.e.199554)
100
CRUISE VARCHAR2 Unique numerical code for a cruise.
100
STRATUM VARCHAR2 A predefined area where a net dredge, or other piece of gear was deployed. Code consists of 2 parts: Stratum group code number (2 bytes) and stratum number (3 bytes). Stratum group refers to if area fished is inshore or offshore North or South of Cape Hatteras or the type of cruise (shellfish, State of MA, offshore deepwater). The stratum number (third and fourth digits of code) refers to area defined by depth zone. See SVDBS.SVMSTRATA. The fifth digit of the code increases the length of the stratum number for revised strata after the Hague Line was established. Stratum group code: 01 = Trawl, offshore north of Hatteras; 02 = BIOM; 03 = Trawl, inshore north of Hatteras; 04 = Shrimp; 05 = Scotian shelf; 06 = Shellfish; 07 = Trawl, inshore south of Hatteras; 08 = Trawl, Offshore south of Hatteras; 09 = MA DMF; 99 = Offshore deepwater (outside the stratified area). A change in Bottom Trawl Stratum for the Gulf of Maine-Bay of Fundy has been in effect since Spring 1987, and may be summarized as follows: Previous strata: 01350; Present strata: 01351, 01352.
100
TOW VARCHAR2 Sequential number representing order in which station was selected within a stratum.
100
STATION VARCHAR2 Unique sequential order in which stations have been completed. Hangups and short tows each receive a non-repeated consecutive number.
100
STATUS_CODE VARCHAR2 Code referencing whether or not a cruise is available in the SVDBS system. See SVDBS.SVCRUISE_STATUS.
100
ID VARCHAR2 Concatenation of Cruise6, Stratum, Tow and Station values.
100
SVSPP VARCHAR2 A standard code which represents a species caught in a trawl or dredge. Refer to the SVDBS.SVSPECIES_LIST
100
CATCHSEX VARCHAR2 Code used to identify species that are sexed at the catch level. See SVDBS.SEX_CODES
100
INDID NUMBER A unique identifier for each fish sampled.
100
LENGTH NUMBER Measured length of species in centimeters (cm). Measure method differs by species.
100
INDWT NUMBER Individual weight (KG) of species being sampled.
100
SEX VARCHAR2 Code indicating sex of fish or invertebrate species. See SVDBS.FSCS_SEX_CODES if using fscs data and SVDBS.SEX_CODES if using non FSCS data. Codes 0, 1, 2 and 4 are the only valid codes in fscs tables.
100
MATURITY VARCHAR2 Stage of maturation of the fish being sampled. See SVDBS.FSCS_MATURITY_CODES
100
AGE NUMBER Age of specimen in years.
100
AGE_DATA_FLAG VARCHAR2 Code to indicate whether or not an age sample was taken. Valuess: Y = Yes, sample taken; NULL = no age sample taken.
100
STOM_VOLUME NUMBER Volume of the stomach contents of the fish sampled, measured to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter (cc).
100
STOM_WGT NUMBER Stomach weight of an individual fish in grams.
100
IND_FISH_COMMENTS VARCHAR2 Comment field for an indiviual fish or invertebrate sampled.
