Marine Mammal Specimen (F025)
FILE TYPE 025 - MARINE MAMMAL SPECIMEN - 9/11/78 VERSION THIS FORMAT IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT STUDIES DESCRIBING POPULATION DYNAMICS AND TROPHIC RELATIONSHIPS FOR SELECTED MAMMAL SPECIES, AND TO PROVIDE INFORMATION CONCERNING IMPACT OF OIL DEVELOPMENT ON BIOLOGICAL POPULATIONS. THE SPECIMEN ANALYSES DATA REPORTED IN THIS FORMAT HELP DEFINE THE BEHAVIOR, REPRODUCTION AND ECOLOGY OF THE MARINE MAMMALS BEING STUDIED. THE FORMAT CONSISTS OF NINE RECORDS FOR REPORTING LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION RELATED TO EACH SPECIMEN, MEASUREMENTS, AGE AND SEX STATISTICS AND DETAILED INFORMATION CONCERNING THE STOMACH CONTENTS OF EACH SPECIMEN. TAXONOMIC CODES FOR BOTH PREDATOR AND PREY CAN BE RECORDED. RECORDS FOR TEXT AND ICE INFORMATION ALSO ARE AVAILABLE. ALL RECORDS IN THIS FORMAT ARE 80 COLUMNS IN LENGTH. THIS FILE IS SORTED BY STATION NUMBER (SPECIMEN 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.
