Data Attributes

Attribute Summary

Rubric Score Primary Key? Name Type Description
100
CRUISE NUMBER A unique four-digit number assigned to the observer for the length of their contract period. This number alone identifies and groups a set of observer information.
100
VESSEL VARCHAR2 A unique, four-digit, alpha-numeric code identifying each vessel that contracts for observer coverage. All vessel codes begin with the alpha code B, followed by a three-digit number.
100
DT DATE Similar to NORPAC.DOMESTIC_HAUL.HAUL_DATE, this is the date in Greenwich Mean Time. Format is stored in the database as DD-MON-YY format (i.e., 15-MAR-86), and displayed as MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS (i.e., 3/15/86 00:00:00).
100
HAUL NUMBER A unique number which identifies a specific occurrence of net, pot, or longline fishing effort. This table does not include "no fishing" days.
100
YEAR NUMBER A four-digit number identifying the year in which the gear retrieval of the haul began.
100
SPECIES NUMBER A three-digit numeric code representing a marine species.
100
SEX VARCHAR2 A one-digit alpha code indicating the sex of the organism. F = female, M = male, U = unknown.
100
NUMBER_IN_SAMPLE NUMBER The number (count) of the specified species which occurred within the sample.
100
SHELL_CONDITION VARCHAR2 H - hard. S - soft.
100
FILENAME VARCHAR2 original filename on the Burroughs computer system from which this data record came.
100
HAUL_JOIN NUMBER An assigned, unique number (up to 6 digits) used to link records in this table back to a single haul record in the NORPAC.FOREIGN_HAUL table.
100
Primary Key PK_FSC NUMBER For internal use only.
