FISHERY SURVEY - FISHING DURATION and Other Data from BELLOWS and Other Platforms from 1974-12-03 to 1978-02-09 (NCEI Accession 8500167)
Data has been processed by NODC to the NODC standard Fish/Shell-fish Surveys (F123) format.
The F123 format is used for data from field sampling of marine fish and shellfish. The data derive from analysis of midwater or bottom tow catches and provide information on population density and distribution. Cruise information, position, date, time, gear type, fishing distance and duration, and number of hauls are reported for each survey. Environmental data may include meteorological conditions, surface and bottom temperature and salinity, and current direction and speed. Bottom trawl or other gear dimensions and characteristics are also reported. Catch statistics (e.g., weight, volume, number of fish per unit volume) may be reported for both total haul and for individual species. Biological characteristics of selected specimens, predator/ prey information (from stomach contents analysis), and growth data may also be included. A text record is available for comment.

Supplemental Information | The publications listed below are related to the data collection and is available from the NOAA Central Library: Environmental studies, South Texas Outer Continental Shelf, chemistry and biology : executive summary, 1977. Port Aransas, Tex. : Port Aransas Marine Laboratory, [1978]. Environmental studies, south Texas outer continental shelf, biology and chemistry : final report 1976. Port Aransas, Tex. : University of Texas Marine Science Institute, Port Aransas Marine Laboratory, [1977]. These data files are in NODC F123 format. Note: Metadata for this accession were extracted from a legacy database maintained by the U.S. National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC). The design of the database did not exactly reflect the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Principal Investigator (PI) and organization contact information accurately represents all available information from the legacy database at the time that this description was created. However, proper attribution of a PI to a specific institution or the role (submitting or collecting) taken by an institution may not be correct due to inexact mapping between fields in the legacy database and the CSDGM. Due to this uncertainty, the contact information was initially recorded in the Supplemental Information element of the CSDGM description. To develop more accurate metadata, NCEI reviews metadata for all accessions on an ongoing basis.
