Description

snapshot table for snapshot SEFSC.SPECIES_CODE_NMFS

Entity Information

Entity Type
Data Table

Data Attribute / Type Description
NMFS_CODE
VARCHAR2 		NMFS Species Code. This is the 4 digit code traditionally used by NMFS HQ and regions around the country. Not all codes were added to the data at the same time so just because a code does not exist in the landings does not mean there was no fishery for that species. Although the agency tries to be proactive in assigning codes there are cases where general coding has gradually evolved into more specific coding. Groupers, sharks, and amberjacks are examples.
COMMON_NAME
VARCHAR2 		Common Name
SCIENTIFIC_NAME
VARCHAR2 		Scientific Name
