This number uniquely identifies a haul within a cruise. It is a sequential number, in chronological order of occurrence. |
SPECIMENID
NUMBER |
(0001 to 9999; Each individual examined must have a number assigned to it that is unique within each haul. However, specimen numbers may be repeated between hauls |
