From: A salmon diet database for the North Pacific Ocean

Column

Explanation

gear_type_predator_id

A unique number that is generated and assigned to each unique predator gear type for each source (e.g., 1, 2, 3…etc.)

gear_type

The most basic description of the type of gear given in the source (e.g., trawl, gillnet, longline)

gear_length_value

The gear length

gear_length_min

If there are a range of gear lengths, then this attribute represents the minimum length

gear_length_max

If there are a range of gear lengths, then this attribute represents the maximum length

gear_length_units

The units associated with the gear length; units are fully spelled and plural (e.g., meters instead of meter)

gear_width_value

The gear width

gear_width_min

If there are a range of gear widths, then this attribute represents the minimum width

gear_width_max

If there are a range of gear widths, then this attribute represents the maximum width

gear_width_units

The units associated with the gear width; units are fully spelled and plural (e.g., meters instead of meter)

gear_depth_value

The gear depth; if the gear is reported to be deployed at the surface then the depth value is assigned to 0

gear_depth_min

If there are a range of gear depths, then this attribute represents the minimum depth; if the gear is reported to be deployed at the surface then the depth value is assigned to 0

gear_depth_max

If there are a range of gear depths, then this attribute represents the maximum depth

gear_depth_units

The units associated with the gear depth; units are fully spelled and plural (e.g., meters instead of meter)

mesh_size_value

The gear mesh size

mesh_size_min

If there are a range of gear mesh sizes, then this attribute represents the minimum mesh size

mesh_size_max

If there are a range of gear mesh sizes, then this attribute represents the maximum mesh size

mesh_size_units

The units associated with the mesh size; units are fully spelled and plural (e.g., millimeters instead of millimeter)

fishing_depth_value

The fishing depth; if fishing is reported to be at the surface then the depth value is assigned to 0

fishing_depth_min

If there are a range of fishing depths, then this attribute represents the minimum fishing depth; if fishing is reported to be at the surface then the depth value is assigned to 0

fishing_depth_max

If there are a range of fishing depths, then this attribute represents the maximum fishing depth

fishing_depth_units

The units associated with the fishing depth; units are fully spelled and plural (e.g., meters instead of meter)

tow_speed_value

The gear tow speed

tow_speed_min

If there are a range of gear tow speeds, then this attribute represents the minimum tow speed

tow_speed_max

If there are a range of gear tow speeds, then this attribute represents the maximum tow speed

tow_speed_units

The units associated with the tow speed; units are fully spelled and plural (e.g., knots instead of knot)

duration_deployment_value

The gear duration of deployment

duration_deployment_min

If there are a range of gear durations of deployment, then this attribute represents the minimum duration of deployment

duration_deployment_max

If there are a range of gear durations of deployment, then this attribute represents the maximum duration of deployment

duration_deployment_units

The units associated with the duration of deployment; units are fully spelled and plural (e.g., minutes instead of minute)
