Summary

Abstract

The data table BIORES contains both biological attribute data and items necessary for linking vector objects in the biological data layers via the BIO_LUT data table to other associated data tables. See the Browse_Graphic section for a link to the entity-relationship diagram, which describes the way this table relates to other attribute tables in the ESI data structure. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.

Entity Information

Data Attribute / Type Description
RARNUM
NUMBER
An identifier that links records in the BIORES data table to records in the BIO_LUT data table or the flat format BIOFILE data table. | Description Source: NOAA
SPECIES_ID
NUMBER
Numeric identifier for each species that is unique within each element and refers to a nationwide master ESI species list maintained at NOAA. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
CONC
VARCHAR
The field CONC refers to "concentration," abundance, or density value of a species at a particular location. For some invertebrate species, this field contains the relative abundance categories from NOAA's Estuarine Living Marine Resources (ELMR) data, used to develop this layer. These categories (5=highly abundant, 4=abundant, 3=common, 2=rare, and 1=no information) are intended to simulate the categories often used by fisheries biologists. The CONC field was populated with the maximum monthly abundance value. For species with more than one life stage present in a given area, the juvenile stage took precedence, followed by adult, then larvae. For species not included in the ELMR data, the species was recorded as 'PRESENT'. For other invertebrate species, where no concentration information was available, the field is populated with '-'. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
SEASON_ID
NUMBER
Numeric identifier for the unique monthly presence and life history characteristics of each species at a given location. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
G_SOURCE
NUMBER
Geographic source identifier that links records in the BIORES data table to records in the SOURCES data table. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
S_SOURCE
NUMBER
Seasonality source identifier that links records in the BIORES data table to records in the SOURCES data table. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
ELEMENT
VARCHAR
Major categories of biological data | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
EL_SPE
VARCHAR
Concatenation of ELEMENT and SPECIES_ID. This item links records in the BIORES data table to records in the SPECIES and STATUS data tables. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
EL_SPE_SEA
VARCHAR
Concatenation of ELEMENT, SPECIES_ID, and SEASON_ID. This item links records in the BIORES data table to records in the SEASONAL and BREED data tables. | Description Source: Research Planning, Inc.
