 THE DATA CODES PRESENTED IN THIS MANUAL ARE A CURRENT SUMMARY OF 


CODES LISTED IN THE RACE DIVISION'S CENTRAL DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM 


CODE FILE. THIS VERSION REPLACES ALL PREVIOUS DATA CODE LISTS. 


THE PURPOSE OF THESE CODES IS TO CODE DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION


FOR USE ON THE RACE DIVISION'S HAUL-POSITION FORMS, SPECIES


CATCH FORMS, LENGTH-FREQUENCY FORMS, SPECIMEN FORMS,


PREDATOR-PREY FORMS, TAG RELEASE AND RECOVERY FORMS, AND


SPECIMEN SPECIAL STUDY FORMS. THE SOURCE OF THESE CODE LISTINGS


IS NOW A SINGLE DISK FILE MAINTAINED AT THE ALASKA FISHERIES


SCIENCE CENTER, SEATTLE. NEW ASSIGNMENTS OF DATA CODES MUST BE


CONSIDERED PROVISIONAL UNTIL THE NEW CODES HAVE BEEN CHECKED


WITH, AND INCORPORATED WITHIN, THE CENTRAL CODE FILE IN SEATTLE. 


SUBMIT PROPOSED CODES TO THE DATA PROCESSING MANAGER, RACE,


AFSC, 526-4137.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS


THE VESSEL, CRUISE, AND HAUL NUMBERS MUST BE FILLED OUT ON ALL


FORMS. A HAUL NUMBER SHOULD BE ASSIGNED EACH TIME SAMPLING GEAR


ENTERS THE WATER. 


FOR EACH CRUISE NUMBER, ALL HAULS TAKEN BY A VESSEL MUST BE


NUMBERED IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER FROM 001 TO NNN (THE FINAL HAUL), 


REGARDLESS OF WHETHER HAULS IN THE SERIES WERE STATION TOWS,


COMPARATIVE FISHING POWER TOWS, OR OTHER SPECIAL STUDIES. 


IF ANY FIELD HAS A MISSING VALUE, LEAVE THE APPROPRIATE BOXES 


ON THE CODING FORMS BLANK. DO NOT WRITE IN DASHES, X, OR ANY


OTHER CHARACTERS. 


FOR LEGITIMATE OBSERVATIONS OF A VALUE OF ZERO, WRITE THE ZEROES


IN THE APPROPRIATE BOXES. FOR EXAMPLE, IF A TEMPERATURE WAS NOT


TAKEN, LEAVE THE TEMPERATURE BOXES BLANK. IF THE TEMPERATURE


WAS ZERO DEGREES, WRITE THE ZEROES IN THE BOXES. 


DO NOT WRITE ANY COMMAS OR ANY ALPHABETIC CHARACTERS IN ANY


NUMERIC FIELDS.


INTEGER NUMERIC VALUES SHOULD BE ENTERED IN THE APPROPRIATE


BOXES RIGHT-JUSTIFIED, BLANK FIELDS TO THE LEFT. 


FOR FRACTIONAL VALUES, THE DECIMAL POINTS ARE IMPLIED. AS SUCH,


DO NOT WRITE ANY DECIMAL POINTS IN THE BOXES. INSTEAD, JUSTIFY


THE DIGITS ACCORDING TO THE DECIMAL POINT PRINTED ON THE FORMS. 


SEPARATE JUVENILE AND ADULT SPECIES CODES SHOULD ONLY BE USED


WHEN ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED FOR HAULS WITH A PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT


LENGTH FREQUENCY SUBSAMPLING PROBLEM. WHEN SEPARATE JUVENILE


AND ADULT SPECIES CODES ARE USED, THEY MUST BE USED CONSISTENTLY


FOR BOTH CATCH AND LENGTH FREQUENCY DATA. THE SIZE RANGE CHOSEN


TO REPRESENT JUVENILES (E.G. POLLOCK LESS THAN 20 CM) MUST BE


ESTABLISHED BEFORE A SURVEY BEGINS, AND WHENEVER JUVENILES ARE


SUBSAMPLED SEPARATELY FROM ADULTS, SEPARATE SPECIES CODES AND


LENGTH FREQUENCY FORMS ARE REQUIRED.


FOR SPECIMEN DATA, SPECIMEN I.D. NUMBERS FOR EACH SPECIES MUST


BE SEQUENCED 1 THROUGH NNN FOR THE ENTIRE CRUISE, NOT FOR EACH


HAUL.

For all method codes, a NULL (i.e. no entry)will represent "Not


measured". Note that similar data are grouped together with a 


prefix like "Surface", so "Surface" covers currents, sea height


etc. This is a little awkward, but will allow us to group 


functionally similar tables as well as have them alphabetical.

 Maturity Code Table 16


 PACIFIC COD MATURITY CODES (MALES)


1. Immature


Gonads small, close to vertebral column, may be difficult to sex. 


Testes translucent "bumps" on thread-like strands closely associated


with, and often indistinguishable from, the gut mesentery.


2. Developing


Gonads small, to about 1/2 the length of body cavity. 


Testes appear uniformly ribbon-like, swollen in size, and take on an


opaque or increasingly whitish color.


3. Pre-Spawn


Testes are large, swollen white and highly convoluted "leaf-lobed"


ribbons filling the entire body cavity. 


Milt is emitted when wall is compromised (pinched).


4. Spawning


Testes milk freely under slight pressure to the body.


5. Spent


Gonads are still large, but appear flaccid and watery. Testes appear


bloodshot.


There may be some areas of the testes that still contain milt. 


6. Resting


PACIFIC COD MATURITY CODES (FEMALES)


1. Immature


Gonads small, close to vertebral column, may be difficult to sex.


Ovaries appear as pink or transparent paired sacs, no oocytes are


visible to the eye. 


2. Developing


Gonads small, to about 1/2 the length of body cavity. 


Ovaries form 2 tapered, distinct lobes having well-developed blood


vessels. Transparent and/or opaque orange oocytes are distinct and


visible through the ovary wall. 


Oocytes stick together forming a solid mass.


3. Pre-Spawn


Ovaries form 2 large distinct lobes. Most eggs appear as mature clear


ova, some oocytes remain interspersed throughout the ovary. 


Ova are less adhesive resembling the consistency of Cream of Wheat-


the breakfast cereal. 


4. Spawning


Eggs run under slight pressure to the body. Ova are loose in the


ovary.


5. Spent


Gonads are still large, but appear flaccid and watery. Ovaries may


contain remnants of disintegrating ova and associated structures.


7. Resting

150


Ovaries small, firm, may have some black or silver color. 


No oocytes are visible to the eye.

 SUPPLEMENTARY TABLE - LORAN RATES AND DETERMINATION OF POSITION 


AND DISTANCE FISHED 


1.	 FOR ALL HAULS, THE STARTING LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE MUST BE 


RECORDED ON THE HAUL-POSITION FORM. 


2.	 IF GOOD, ACCURATE, RELIABLE LORAN READINGS ARE AVAILABLE FOR


BOTH STARTING AND ENDING POSITIONS FOR THE HAUL, THE ONLY


INFORMATION NEEDED IS AN APPROXIMATE (WITHIN 5 NAUTICAL 


MILES) STARTING LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE, AND THE LORAN 


READINGS. IN THIS CASE, THE ENDING LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE


AND DISTANCE FISHED CAN BE CALCULATED BY THE COMPUTER. 


3.	 IF RADAR FIXES ARE USED INSTEAD OF LORAN, THEN RECORD THE


STARTING AND ENDING LATITUDES AND LONGITUDES TO THE NEAREST


TENTH OF A MINUTE. LEAVE THE DISTANCE FISHED BLANK SINCE


THE COMPUTER CAN CALCULATE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN 2 FIXES. 


4.	 IF EITHER THE STARTING FIX OR THE ENDING FIX (LORAN OR


RADAR) IS MISSING, DETERMINE THE DISTANCE FISHED BY DEAD


RECKONING, AND ENTER IT ON THE HAUL-POSITION FORM. 


5.	 IF THE COURSE FOLLOWED DURING THE TOW DEVIATES SIGNIFICANTLY


FROM A STRAIGHT LINE, THEN THE DISTANCE FISHED MUST BE


ESTIMATED OR DETERMINED BY DEAD RECKONING AND ENTERED ON THE


FORM. 


6.	 IT IS UNNECESSARY TO SPEND TIME ABOARD SHIP IN CONVERTING


LORAN READINGS TO PRECISE LATITUDES AND LONGITUDES. IT IS


ALSO UNNECESSARY TO FIGURE DISTANCE FISHED BETWEEN 2 LORAN 


OR RADAR FIXES. THESE THINGS CAN BE DONE BY COMPUTER. IT


IS MOST IMPORTANT, THOUGH, THAT THE LORAN READINGS AND RADAR 


FIXES BE TAKEN ACCURATELY, AND THAT THEY ARE CAREFULLY


RECORDED ON THE FORM. 

154


LORAN READINGS


A FIX IS DETERMINED BY TWO LORAN READINGS - THE FIRST READING AND THE


SECOND READING. FOR THE READINGS, EITHER LORAN-C OR LORAN-A, OR


COMBINATIONS OF A AND C MAY BE USED. 


HOWEVER, THE RATES USED FOR THE FIRST AND SECOND READINGS MUST NOT 


HAVE THE SAME SLAVE STATION. 


THUS, IF A LORAN-C RATE IS USED FOR THE FIRST READING, ANY LORAN-A 


RATE MAY BE USED FOR THE SECOND READING, AND VICE-VERSA (SEE TABLE 


1, FOLLOWING). 


BUT IF LORAN-C IS USED FOR THE FIRST AND SECOND READINGS, CERTAIN 


COMBINATIONS OF RATES MUST BE AVOIDED (SEE TABLE 2, FOLLOWING). 


LIKEWISE, IF LORAN-A IS USED FOR THE FIRST AND SECOND READINGS, 


CERTAIN COMBINATIONS OF RATES MUST BE AVOIDED (SEE TABLE 3, 


FOLLOWING). 


IN ADDITION TO THESE RESTRICTIONS, THE CHOICE OF APPROPRIATE PAIRS 


OF LORAN RATES MAY BE FURTHER QUALIFIED BY WHICH RATES GIVE THE BEST 


RECEPTION AND INTERSECTIONS.
