Data Attribute / Type	Description
FID n/a	Internal feature number.; Source: Esri
SHAPE n/a	Feature geometry.; Source: Esri
UID n/a	Supposed to be a unique ID Field for species per study area, but has a value of 2000 for all species, so not a useful field; Source: NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center
SPECIES n/a	Species common name; Source: NOAA Fisheries Southwest Fisheries Science Center
SPECIES_2 n/a	Species scientific name; Source: NOAA Fisheries Southwest Fisheries Science Center
MONTH_NUMB n/a	Month number 01-12 Value of 0; This field NOT USED because densities are averaged over the survey period of July-November; Source: NOAA Fisheries Southwest Fisheries Science Center
MONTH_NAME n/a	Month name, e.g. January Empty NOT USED because densities are averaged over the survey period of July-November; Source: NOAA Fisheries Southwest Fisheries Science Center
STUDY n/a	Source/study information; Source: NOAA Fisheries Southwest Fisheries Science Center
STRATUM n/a	Stratum name Always CCE (California Current Ecosystem) for this series; Source: NOAA Fisheries Southwest Fisheries Science Center

DENSITY n/a	Density value in animals/km^2; Source: From model
UNCERTAINT n/a	Numerical uncertainty value (CV). When the models for a species/guild do not have dynamic predictors, uncertainty info is not available. In this case the field has a value of -99999.; Source: From model
UNCER_QUAL n/a	Qualitative uncertainty value (description of uncertainty when numerical value is not present or to describe additional qualitative information. Duke used this column to further define the type of model that was used which called back to other documentation that described how the model was run and how it performed); Source: NOAA Fisheries Southwest Fisheries Science Center

NAEMO_VERS n/a	Identifies version of data - NAEMO specific. Populate as ‘01’; Source: NOAA Fisheries Southwest Fisheries Science Center
SEASON n/a	To be populated to capture season information. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter Not used; always empty due to data being averaged over multiple seasons (summer/fall); Source: NOAA Fisheries Southwest Fisheries Science Center
