Item Identification

Title:	BIOFILE
Status:	Completed
Publication Date:	2019-09
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

Entity Information

Entity Type:	Data Table
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: 894337

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.
