"The Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) has conducted bottom trawl
surveys for juvenile and adult fish on the NEUS Shelf over the past four
decades (Azarovitz 1981). The surveys were conducted in the spring (March-
April) and fall (September-October) using a stratified random design. All fish
for each species were counted and weighed. Literature values of the estimated
median size at maturity (50th percentile) were used for most species to
determine size at maturity and only mature adults were included the catch
estimates.

Otter boards  are made of timber or steel and are positioned in such a way that the  hydrodynamic forces, acting on them when the net is towed along the  seabed, pushes them outwards and prevents the mouth of the net from  closing. The speed  that the trawl is towed at depends on the swimming speed of the species  which is being targeted and the exact gear that is being used, but for  most demersal species, a speed of around 4 knots (7 km/h) is appropriate.

Using tabledap to Request Data and Graphs from Tabular Datasets

tabledap lets you request a data subset, a graph, or a map from a tabular dataset (for example, buoy data), via a specially formed URL. tabledap uses the OPeNDAP (external link) Data Access Protocol (DAP) (external link) and its selection constraints (external link).

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").

For details, see the tabledap Documentation.
