All trawl data represented here expand upon vessel operations (OP table) data, all of which are collected by the United States Geological Survey, Great Lakes Science Center and its partners. The Trawl Tables contain data collected from the research vessel deploying various gear used for trawl data collection. The database uses sample_type to indicate the gear deployed. The tables relating to Trawl are: Bucket.csv, Prey_Length.csv, Prey_Total.csv, TR_Annulus.csv, TR_Catch.csv, TR_Fish.csv, TR_L.csv, TR_LF.csv, TR_LMMB_Fish_Prey.csv, TR_LMMB_Invert_Prey.csv, TR_OP.csv, TR_Prey.csv, TR_Sub.csv, sub_prey_total.csv, and sub_prey_length.csv Data Quality: Note that the following data release is a snapshot of the database at the time of release. Some data quality checks are still being undertaken after the time of release. Also, a large section of this database includes legacy data that if issues arise for cannot be addressed, but nevertheless adds great value to the database. When approaching the following data release, it is strongly suggested to approach the Great Lakes Science Center's researchers for input.
