NOAA Pacific RAMP fish SPC 2010-2017 dataset

Each data record in the datafile is an estimated count and size of fish taxa from a single observer (DIVER) at a single survey at a particular site. Each record includes an observation type (see method description) along with metadata that relates to the specific species observed. Each data record has a unique numeric identifier (SITEVISITID) that relates to the single survey where it was collected. A collection of records from a single survey belong to a site (SITE). Typically a site contains data records from the two replicate surveys, which collected at the same point in time (with two divers surveying adjacent survey cylinders). Meta-data on benthic habitat, site location and sampling date relate to all data records within the same site.
