Fish Resource Assessment (F023)
FILE TYPE 023 - FISH RESOURCE ASSESSMENT - 3/30/79 VERSION THIS FORMAT IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT STUDIES OF DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF VARIOUS FISHES AND TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON WHAT POPULATIONS MAY BE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO IMPACTS FROM OFFSHORE PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT. THE FORMAT CONSISTS OF EIGHT DATA RECORDS FOR REPORTING AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION PERTAINING TO GEAR TYPES, TOW METHODS AND MATERIALS, DEPTHS OF OPERATION, ETC AS WELL AS POSITION, DATE AND TIME, ENVIRONMENTAL DATA AND CRUISE INFORMATION. THE FIELDS PERTAINING TO THE SPECIES CATCH INCLUDE VARIOUS DESCRIPTORS SUCH AS WEIGHT, SEX, AGE, LENGTH AND STOMACH CONTENTS. MOST OF THE SPECIES DATA CAN BE REPORTED FOR INDIVIDUAL SPECIMEN OR FOR PARTIAL OR ENTIRE HAULS. A RECORD FOR DETAIL MEASUREMENTS CONCERNING PREY ALSO IS INCLUDED AS WELL AS A TEXT RECORD FOR ADDITIONAL COMMENTS. ALL RECORDS ARE 104 CHARACTERS IN LENGTH. THIS FILE IS SORTED BY STATION NUMBER AND SEQUENCE NUMBER TO OBTAIN THE PROPER SEQUENCE OF RECORDS. THE FIRST NINE COLUMNS FOR ALL RECORDS ARE TO BE USED FOR FILE TYPE (COLUMNS 1-3) AND FILE IDENTIFIER (COLUMNS 4-9). THE FILE IDENTIFIER, TO BE ASSIGNED BY THE ORIGNATOR, IS A UNIQUE ORIGINATOR ID FOR EACH DATA SUBMISSION. AFTER SUBMISSION, THE NODC REASSIGNS TO THIS FIELD A UNIQUE NODC IDENTIFIER FOR INTERNAL USE. ***A SIMILAR FORMAT, FILETYPE 123, HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO ACCOMODATE THE NODC 12-DIGIT TAXONOMIC CODE AND TO BETTER PROVIDE FOR MORE SPECIFIC PREY/PREDATOR DATA. NEW INVESTIGATORS SHOULD USE FILETYPE 123.*** *****OBSOLETE REPLACED BY FT123 HAUL RECORD ALWAYS '1' 10 AGENCY TWO-CHARACTER CODE - ALSO INCLUDED IN RECORD TYPES 2-8; USE CODE 0079 11 VESSEL TWO-CHARACTER CODE -
