Abstract

This table contains species composition sampling data from catch made in the foreign and joint venture groundfish fishery.

Description

This table contains species composition sampling data from catch made in the foreign and joint venture groundfish fishery.

Entity Type
Data Table

Data Attribute / Type	Description
CRUISE NUMBER	A unique four-digit number to represent each occasion that an observer was aboard a different fishing vessel during deployment. Cruise number is associated with all of the data collected by the observer aboard the vessel.
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.
DT DATE	Similar to NORPAC.DOMESTIC_SPCOMP.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).
YEAR NUMBER	A four-digit number identifying the year in which the gear retrieval of the haul began.
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.
SPECIES NUMBER	Code used by the NMFS Observer Program to identify an organism or material. This code is associated with species name in the domestic_species table (using the column name species_no in place of species).
SEX VARCHAR2	A one-digit alpha code indicating the sex of the organism. F = female, M = male, U = unknown.
WEIGHT_SAMPLED NUMBER	The total weight in kilograms of all of the sampled species in the sample.
NUMBER_IN_SAMPLE NUMBER	The number (count) of the specified species which occurred within the sample.
WEIGHT_IN_SAMPLE NUMBER	The total weight in kilograms of the specified species which occurred within the sample.
NUMBER_OF_POTS_SAMPLED NUMBER	The number of pots in the set that were sampled for species composition.
NUMBER_OF_SKATES_SAMPLED NUMBER	The number of (hachi) skates that were sampled for species composition.
SPECIES_HAUL_NUMBER NUMBER	The estimated number of the specified species in the entire haul extrapolated from the sample.
SPECIES_HAUL_WEIGHT NUMBER	The estimated weight in kilograms of the specified species in the entire haul extrapolated from the sample.
EXTRAPOLATION_TYPE NUMBER	A one-digit code associated with the procedure used to extrapolate the NUMBER_IN_SAMPLE and WEIGHT_IN_SAMPLE to SPECIES_HAUL_NUMBER and SPECIES_HAUL_WEIGHT. NORPAC.FOREIGN_EXTRAPOLATION provides a description of the codes.
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.
