String acquisition_description
"Two surveys were conducted; one in the fall beginning October 30, 2000 and a
second in the spring, beginning on April 23, 2001. Each cruise required 25
days over a period of five weeks. . Descriptive data, including geo-
references, trawl duration, depth, salinity and temperature for each survey
are presented. Obviously, a single year of data affords no ability to develop
a time series to be used for more than anything but the most general of
conclusions. Also, since this was the first year, the first few weeks of the
fall survey, especially, was a period in which the crew was testing and
developing skills, procedures, and methods. Nevertheless, data collected from
this first year does reveal some interesting findings. Ninety-nine taxonomic
groups of fish and invertebrates were caught. For this report, we have
selected examples for which we can report results. The complete catch result
summaries are presented by species for each stratum. Fall 2000 Summary Seventy
eight of the 96 planned tows were made. Untowable bottom and presence of fixed
gear prevented us from towing the 18 not towed. The volume of the total mixed
catch varied from a minimum of 4 kg to a maximum of 640 kg per tow. The
average weight of catch was about 122 kg per tow. The total number of species
caught in the fall was 80 with a low of 7 and high of 31 in any particular
tow. Relative coastwide ranking for the top 10 species is reported below in
descending order.

One hundred eleven tows were made in the spring. We were able to achieve this
by anticipating untowable bottom and planning 1 extra randomly selected
alternate tow per stratum for a total of 115 planned tows. Weight of total
mixed catch varied from a minimum of 4.5 kg to a maximum of 5,007 kg per tow,
with an average of 87 kg per tow. Number of species caught per tow ranged from
4 to 31. Total number of species caught during the Spring 2001 survey was 87.

With 61 finfish species and 38 types of invertebrates sampled, a species by
species presentation of results is not practical for this report. However,
following are some examples of the sorts of results that this survey can
produce. Note that we include some examples of non-groundfish species to
demonstrate another attribute of a fisheries independent survey; that the
survey can provide information beneficial for management of the system and not
focus soley on a select suite of target species. Information is gathered on an
ecological community level. Rainbow smelt, for example, may not be directly
exploited commercially but it provides enjoyment to upland recreational
anglers and on an ecological level is a forage species for higher trophic
levels. Sculpins, cartilaginous species, and predator-prey ratios, for
example, have been used as indicators of system-wide health. Landings data do
not include information on these species. Over the long term, system shifts as
a result of climate change may be assessed as exemplified when the Fall Survey
encountered species such as barracudina and scup that historically have not
been common north of Cape Ann, Massachusetts. By looking at population
structure as well as distribution, the importance of shallow inshore habitat
for cod becomes clear. The Fall 2000 portion of Figure 8 shows a year class of
cod that probably hatched in February-April 1999. Most are still in the
shallowest strata. As the fish grow, they move offshore and disperse into
deeper water. In the Spring 2001 portion of Figure 8, one can see young of the
year in the shallow strata. Offshore in the spring, there appears to be more
cod in the deeper strata but certainly not in the numbers that were observed
the previous fall. From a single year\\u2019s tow, it is not possible to know
whether or not the spring survey missed the next year class due to late
inshore migration or whether there simply was a weak year class. Cod, and most
other groundfish species, move into deeper (warmer) water in late fall to
return in the spring as inshore waters warm. Whether the fish were still
farther offshore and had not migrated in at the time of the spring survey, we
cannot determine. The spring of 2001 was cooler than normal. Subsequent
year\\u2019s tows and comparisons with the offshore NMFS data set will help to
resolve this question. As the Maine spring spawning closure for groundfish
'sunsets' at the end of 2002, trawl survey data will be used to evaluate the
need to extend the closure during the next Maine legislative session.";

String instruments_0_dataset_instrument_description "The net is a scaled down version of the most common shrimp and modified shrimp net design used by Maine’s dragger fleet. The net was designed by the vessel owner and his net designer, Jeff Flagg, to fish effectively, be easily maintained, and be towed by vessels ranging from 45 - 70 ft. with nominal horsepower. Net tapers were cut to permit the shape of the net to get maximum height, while allowing the net to remain tight on the bottom. The net is shackled from the footrope to the frame using two 3/8-inch shackles to a banded wire that runs parallel with the footrope. Heavy rubber wing bobbins retard bottom wing lift. The top leg is 3/8th inch wire, 15 fathoms long, and the bottom leg is 15 fathoms. The net is constructed of 2 inch mesh overall with a 1/2 inch mesh liner in the cod end. Doors are #7.5 Bisons. The 70 ft. footrope includes 70’ of 6 inch cookies. Chain sweeps were not used. Between surveys, the net is sent back to the manufacturer where it is returned to specification.";

Data Access Protocol (DAP) and its
selection constraints.
The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names,
followed by a collection of
constraints (e.g., variable<value),
each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").
