Column_Number Column_Header Column_Description
1 Site The unordered nominal specific ID number of each discrete sampling site.
2 Year The ordered nominal year in which the data was collected at a specific site.
3 Date The ordered nominal date on which the data was collected at a specific site.
4 ScientificName The Latin binomial of a fish species (E.g. "Embiotoca jacksoni") or the next appropriate taxonomic level (E.g. "Sebastes, juvenile complex"). Note, that some fish species are broken into different lifecycle stages, size classes, or sexes (E.g. Semicossyphus pulcher, male).
5 CommonName The common or working name associated with a Latin binomial or other taxonomic or stage structured grouping.
6 Priority The ordered nominal indicator of the priority level of fish. If they were unable to measure all the fish at a site observers concentrated their effort on their measuring fish in order of priority. Fish with a higher priority were measured first.
7 Count The continuous integer indicating the number of fish of a given length in a particular 'ScientificName' or 'CommonName' group.
8 TotalLength The continuous integer indicating the mean estimated total length of individuals within a particular 'Count' of fish. Fish total lengths are estimated to the nearest centimeter.
9 MinLength The continuous integer indicating the estimated length of the smallest individual within a particular 'Count' of fish.
10 MaxLength The continuous integer indicating the estimated length of the largest individual within a particular 'Count' of fish.
