Summary

Abstract

The data table BIOFILE contains biological attribute data and key fields for linking to the vector objects in the biological data layers and to the associated data tables, BREED_DT and SOURCES. See the Entity_and_Attribute_Overview for a detailed description of how the primary attribute tables relate to the geographic data layers. Also see the Browse_Graphic section for a link to the entity-relationship diagram, which describes the way this table relates to other attribute tables in the ESI data structure. | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines

Description

The BIORES, SEASONAL, SPECIES, and STATUS tables, required for the deliverable to NOAA, are compressed into a single file, the BIOFILE, to enhance usability. | Description Source: NOAA ESI Guidelines

BREED1

CC ID: 893824
Seq. Order: 26
Data Storage Type: TEXT
Max Length: 8
Required: No
Primary Key: No
Status: Active
Description:

Month range where a life history stage or activity type is occurring. Activity represented varies by element.

If ELEMENT is "BIRD" then BREED1 = nesting; if ELEMENT is "FISH" then BREED1 = spawning; if ELEMENT is "INVERT" then BREED1 = spawning; if ELEMENT is "HERP" then BREED1 = nesting; if ELEMENT is "M_MAMMAL" then BREED1 = mating. Values will show month or range of months (e.g., JAN-MAY). A value of "-" indicates life stage or activity not present or not reported. A value of "N/A" indicates that the breed category is not used or not appropriate for the element referenced.

This attribute is not used for BENTHIC, HABITAT, or T_MAMMAL elements. | Description Source: Environmental Sensitivity Index Guidelines, Version 4.0.
