43712 BIOFILE Entity Published / External 40381 Maine and New Hampshire 2016 M_MAMMAL_PT (Marine Mammal Points) Data Set Completed The data table BIOFILE contains biological attribute data and key fields for linking to the vector objects in the biological data layers and to the associated data tables, BREED_DT and SOURCES. See the Entity_and_Attribute_Overview for a detailed description of how the primary attribute tables relate to the geographic data layers. Also 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: NOAA ESI Guidelines Converted from FGDC using 'fgdc_to_inport_xml_entity.pl' script. 1 ELEMENT VARCHAR No No Active Major categories of biological data. | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines M_MAMMAL: Marine mammals | 2 SUBELEMENT VARCHAR No No Active Element subgroup delineating a logical grouping of species. | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines pinniped: Pinniped | 3 NAME Unknown No No Active Species common name for the entire ESI data set.

The following mapping qualifiers were used in the development of this atlas. | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines HAUL OUT: Haul Out | 13 CONC Unknown No No Active The field CONC refers to concentration, abundance or density values, and may contain counts of individuals for each species present at a particular nesting or wintering site, or a term that describes relative abundance of birds at a particular site. The field may contain values from exact counts (e.g., XX BIRDS, XX PAIRS, or XX ADULTS), or binned counts (e.g., 10S, 100S, 1,000S). In cases where no quantitative data were available, the field may contain descriptive terms, such as "HIGH" or "POSSIBLE." If no concentration information was available, the field is populated with "-". Counts were derived from a variety of surveys, and may range in date (see Lineage). | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines Acceptable values change from atlas to atlas. 14 JAN VARCHAR No No Active January | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines X: Present in January | 15 FEB VARCHAR No No Active February | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines X: Present in February | 16 MAR VARCHAR No No Active March | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines X: Present in March | 17 APR VARCHAR No No Active April | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines X: Present in April | 18 MAY VARCHAR No No Active May | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines X: Present in May | 19 JUN VARCHAR No No Active June | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines X: Present in June | 20 JUL VARCHAR No No Active July | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines X: Present in July | 21 SEP VARCHAR No No Active September | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines X: Present in September | 22 AUG VARCHAR No No Active August | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines X: Present in August | 23 OCT VARCHAR No No Active October | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines X: Present in October | 24 NOV VARCHAR No No Active November | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines X: Present in November | 25 DEC VARCHAR No No Active December | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines X: Present in December | 26 BREED1 Unknown No No Active Life history stage or activity type, where: if ELEMENT is "BIRD" then BREED1 = nesting; if ELEMENT is "FISH" then BREED1 = spawning; if ELEMENT is "INVERT" then BREED1 = spawning; if ELEMENT is "HERP" then BREED1 = nesting; if ELEMENT is "M_MAMMAL" then BREED1 = mating.
