NGCI_2009_2010tblfishmass.csv

Entity (ENT) | Southeast Fisheries Science Center (SEFSC)
GUID: gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:53099 | Updated: March 4, 2026 | Published / External

Title:	NGCI_2009_2010tblfishmass.csv
Status:	Completed
Abstract:	Table contains total count 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. Empty length or weight column indicates parameter was not measured. . It was created by export of a sql server database
Supplemental Information:	No sample #120 collected during this trip.
