LL_LENGTH

Unique numerical code for each cruise. Specific to a vessel and season. Five digits, where first 2 digits indicate vessel, next 2 year, last digit season. For example 24142 = Tenacious II 2014 fall survey or 25151 = Mary Elizabeth 2015 spring survey. If last digit = 3 it is an experimental survey trip

Unique sequential order in which stations have been completed, unique to each cruise code. Failed gear deployments each receive a non-repeated consecutive number.

A standard code which represents a species caught. Refer to the SVDBS.SVSPECIES_LIST

A standard common name which represents a species caught. Refer to the SVDBS.SVSPECIES_LIST

Code indicating sex of fish or invertebrate species. See SVDBS.FSCS_SEX_CODES. Codes 0, 1, 2 and 4 are the only valid codes in fscs tables.

Measured length of an individual in centimeters (cm). Measure method differs by species

Order in which fish were measured or entered into the field computer.

Comments related to the measurement of the individual organism's length.

Two digit code for the vessel on which the organism was collected and measured. Matches with code in LL_STATION.CRUISE. Values are 24 = Tenacious II or 25 = Mary Elizabeth

Binary indicator of whether the length of an organism was measured (N) or estimated by otolith back-calculation (Y)

Binary flag that indicates a data issue was identified during the audit (if = Y), with details provided in the comments field. It may indicate a data field that is not recommended for use in analysis.
