Northeast Cooperative Research Study Fleet (SF) Program Combined GPS, Temperature/Depth, and Effort Fishery Dependent Data

Published by Northeast Fisheries Science Center | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: December 20, 2025 | Last Modified: 2024-02-29T00:00:00.000+00:00
Temperature, depth(TD), GPS and haul by haul effort and catch data are collected during normal fishing activity of commercial fishing vessels participating in the NEFSC Cooperative Research Study Fleet (SF) program. The GTE (GPS, Temperature/Depth, and Effort) procedure joins the temperature depth (TD), GPS and effort level electonic logbook data into one combined data set. This data set is then loaded and reviewed in an application for quality and is edited and coded appropriately. All sound data resulting from this review is moved to 'GTE_JOIN' table. In addition, a summary table 'GTE_EFFORTS' is maintained which, include calculations for various effort level statistics on the joined data such as, but not limited to, effort duration, distance towed, min, max, and average depth.
