@James-Thorson-NOAA , for clarification, this is the West Coast Triennial survey. Do you know the gear types?
I responded by email (which I saw first) but see description from TM below
The standard RACE high-opening Nor'eastern trawl, constructed of polyethylene mesh and equipped with rubber bobbin roller gear, was used aboard both vessels throughout the 2001 survey (Fig. 1). This trawl has a 27.2 m headrope and a 37.4 m footrope. All trawls were rigged consistently to RACE survey gear standards employing triple 55 m dandylines (1.59 cm steel cable) connected to each wing and fished with 2.1 × 1.5 m steel V-doors weighing approximately 567 kg each.
This document has gear codes on pg. 24: https://repository.library.noaa.gov/view/noaa/31570
The relevant ones for us:
@jepa , could you add this to our gear information for WCTRI?
Thanks Malin! That's a new TM to me, but very useful to know about :)
Added this information to the summary
file. This is it right? Just confirming there is not coding adaptation needed to be done @mpinsky
@jepa , the summary
file (does it describe gear types?) and the metadata_docs/README.md
would both be good.
Cool. I'm adding it to the summary file of each survey as a "special note"
WCTRI. My understanding is that the WCTRI surveys use a Poly Nor’Eastern trawl. In the dataset, the gear types listed for this survey are 160, 162, 170 and 172. I have searched high-and-low for the definitions of these numbers, but I can’t find anything. Are you able to provide any clarity here?
