53050 Entity Published / External 10007 Corpus Christi-East Matagorda Bay 1986 Data Set Completed 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 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. Southeast Fisheries Science Center Miami FL USA PARR Data Server in SEFSC Computer Room Data Table Yes 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. 10 Record_ID_Number Numeric 6 Yes Yes Active System generated record number assigned to each data stream. 20 PROJECTNAME VARCHAR2 50 Yes No Active Combination of assigned project name and year(s) study was conducted 30 SAMPLENUMBER VARCHAR2 50 Yes No Active Project acronym-year-sample number combination used to identify each data record 40 TAXON VARCHAR2 100 Yes No Active Scientific name (any level) assigned under Linnaean system of classification 50 Count Numeric Yes No 4 Active Number of individuals of a given taxon measured and/or unmeasured. Unprocessed unit-free numbers. 60 Total_Length_in_mm Numeric No No 5 1 Active 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. mm -999 no measurement taken/available 90 Standard_Length_in_mm Numeric 5 No No 1 Active Specimen standard length in millimeters. mm 120 COMMENTS VARCHAR2 255 No No Active Optional general or specific comment about overall project or a given record Data Steward 1986-02-07 Person Ditty, James Jim.Ditty@noaa.gov 4700 Avenue U Galveston TX 77551-5997 409-766-3782 409-766-3508 Distributor 2018 Organization Southeast Fisheries Science Center SEFSC https://ror.org/0396y0w87 75 Virginia Beach Drive Miami FL 33149 USA (305)361-5761 https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/about/southeast-fisheries-science-center About SEFSC Online Resource 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. EST Contact by email preferred.
