Summary

Abstract

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 'tblFishLength', but was not transferred to 'tblFishMass'. Alternately, a code of '-999' may also represent the number of damaged specimens that could not be measured for a given taxon. Empty length or weight column indicates parameter was not measured.

It was created by export of a sql server database
