sampMeth:

Sampling method (type: string). 'Observer' or 'SelfSampling'.

sampTeam:

Sampling team (type: string). An identifier for the individuals or team who collected the sample. This is likely to be mainly of interest at the national level and would be an optional field for RDB inclusion. Similar fields in the ca table could provide information on who did the age reading and should be considered.

These are how the commercial data are likely to be recorded officially - these will include landings where species are not commercially identified but landed collectively and in some case might not be correct (Anglerfish, megrim, gurnards, sole, skates and rays). This would allow the observer(s) to identify the species within a commercial species mix when sampling.

catchCat:

Catch category (type: string). The fate of the catch: 'Dis'=discard, 'Lan'=landing.

landCat:

Landing category (type: string). The intended usage at the time of landing. This should match the same field in CL record (whether or not the fish was actually used for this or another purpose): 'IND'=industry or 'HUC'=human consumption.

totWtDeriv:

Total weight derivation (type: NA). The total weight derivation. At present there is a wt field in the SL table defined as the whole weight in grams. How that weight is obtained can in practice vary considerably and the weight derivation field seeks to identify that. Weights can be obtained from actual measures, estimates derived from observers or fishing vessel crew, official logbook records, official auction weights, or extrapolated from the weight length relationships of measured individuals.

sampWtDeriv:

Sampling Weight Derivation (type: NA). The sample weight derivation. As with the total weight this field seeks to clarify how the sample weight is actually derived. These can, for instance, be measured weights by observers of individual or groups of fish, measured weights by fishing vessel crew or official box weights, they can be obtained from weight length relationships of fish that are measured, but not weighed.

unitId:

Unit Identifier (type: NA). The sampling unit identifier, the actual value of the sampling unit as specified by the unitKey.

indSex:

Individual sex (type: string). The individual sex field allows the sample of a species to be split by sex after being sampled e.g. Rays, Nephrops. This allows a sex specific length distribution to be recorded. This was a point of clarity for the subgroup as to why this field was needed, it is an existing field and there would be no change to its use. Compare with the sex field in the sl table.

It could be an alternative or additional measure to the length, which can already be recorded in the HL table. The measurement class would relate to the measType field in the SL table. Examples could be tail widths of Nephrops in mm, carapace lengths, and carapace widths.

measNum:

For example the value used to get from the measure to the length class such as Nephrops tails X 3 = carapace length. This conversion factor can be length dependent therefore it has to be in the hl table with the length class.

fishSampled:

Fish Measured (type: NA). The number of fish (or shellfish) measured, e.g. the number of fish for which length or another measure was made from within the sample.

fishSampProb:

The sampling probability for the measured fish, this would usually be the ratio of fishTotal/fishSamp and the sample weight, for the measured fish would be the inverse of fishSampProb.
