Summary

Abstract

Table contains fish count and individual length information. If count = 0, a code of '-999' in measurement column indicates nothing to measure for given record or sample. If count ≥1, a code of '-999' in measurement column indicates damaged specimens unable to measure. If fish taxon was subsampled, code '-999' in measurement column refers to number of specimens above subsample size that were not measured. Empty length column indicates parameter was not measured.

This was created by export of a sql server database

Description

Table contains total count, size range, and weight by taxon and sample. If count = 0, a code of '-999' indicates nothing to measure or weigh for given record or sample. If count = 1 or ≥2 and measurement column has '-999' code, maximum and minimum length information may be available in Fish Length Table, but was not transferred to Fish Mass Table; or, may represent damaged specimens not measured for given taxon.

Data Attribute / Type Description
Record_ID_Number
Numeric 		System generated record number assigned to each data stream.
PROJECTNAME
VARCHAR2 		Combination of assigned project name and year(s) study was conducted
SAMPLENUMBER
VARCHAR2 		Project acronym-year-sample number combination used to identify each data record
TAXON
VARCHAR2 		Scientific name (any level) assigned under Linnaean system of classification
Count
Numeric 		Number of individuals of a given taxon measured and/or unmeasured. Unprocessed unit-free numbers.
Total_Length_in_mm
Numeric 		Specimen total length in millimeters. Code '-999' in length column indicates either no specimens of given taxon collected (count = 0) or a damaged specimen not measured. If sample was subsampled, a code of '-999' in length column indicates the remaining number of specimens above subsample size that were not measured. If column empty, TL was not measured.
Standard_Length_in_mm
Numeric 		Specimen standard length in millimeters.
COMMENTS
VARCHAR2 		Optional general or specific comment about overall project or a given record

Abstract:

Table contains fish count and individual length information. If count = 0, a code of '-999' in measurement column indicates nothing to measure for given record or sample. If count ≥1, a code of '-999' in measurement column indicates damaged specimens unable to measure. If fish taxon was subsampled, code '-999' in measurement column refers to number of specimens above subsample size that were not measured. Empty length column indicates parameter was not measured.

Supplemental Information:

Fish were not sub-sampled, all intact specimens were measured. Single individuals of a taxon at a given station were recorded in mm TL [total length], while multiple individuals were often recorded in 10-mm TL size intervals (i.e., 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, etc.). If so, a comment in the ‘Comments’ column states ‘Midpoint of size interval’ for that taxon, which represents the midpoint of the size interval, not the mean of actual length measurements.

Total counts must be summed by taxon and station and then divided by 2.6 to calculate number per meter squared values because the larger 1.8-m drop trap used sampled an area of 2.6 m2.
