Data Attribute / Type Description
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)
CRUISE
VARCHAR2
Unique numerical code for a cruise.
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.
TOW
VARCHAR2
Sequential number representing order in which station was selected within a stratum.
STATION
VARCHAR2
Unique sequential order in which stations have been completed. Hangups and short tows each receive a non-repeated consecutive number.
STATUS_CODE
VARCHAR2
Code referencing whether or not a cruise is available in the SVDBS system. See SVDBS.SVCRUISE_STATUS.
ID
VARCHAR2
Concatenation of Cruise6, Stratum, Tow and Station values.
SVSPP
VARCHAR2
A standard code which represents a species caught in a trawl or dredge. Refer to the SVDBS.SVSPECIES_LIST
CATCHSEX
VARCHAR2
Code used to identify species that are sexed at the catch level. See SVDBS.SEX_CODES
INDID
NUMBER
A unique identifier for each fish sampled.
LENGTH
NUMBER
Measured length of species in centimeters (cm). Measure method differs by species.
INDWT
NUMBER
Individual weight (KG) of species being sampled.
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.
MATURITY
VARCHAR2
Stage of maturation of the fish being sampled. See SVDBS.FSCS_MATURITY_CODES
AGE
NUMBER
Age of specimen in years.
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.
STOM_VOLUME
NUMBER
Volume of the stomach contents of the fish sampled, measured to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter (cc).
STOM_WGT
NUMBER
Stomach weight of an individual fish in grams.
CUTTER
VARCHAR2
Name of the individual who was measuring and cutting fish at a FSCS workstation.
RECORDER
VARCHAR2
The name of the individual who recorded data.
IND_FISH_COMMENTS
VARCHAR2
Comment field for an indiviual fish or invertebrate sampled.
