A description of codings and other pertinent information regarding each         
variable follows.                                                               
                                                                                
MONTH and DAY:  Are the date on which a net was pulled and the catch processed. 
                                                                                
POLYTIME:  Is the time a polycorder program was initiated based on the          
  polycorder's internal clock.  This time does not necessarily represent the    
  time the net was pulled or reset, but was included as a method of checking    
  errors in keypunching.  This missing value indicator used was 9999.           
                                                                                
STATION:  Stations numbered 1 through 26 were set in the same locations         
  as stations 1 through 26 during the 1985 Endicott Environmental Monitoring    
  Program.  Stations 60 through 69 were added for the 1986 program.             
                                                                                
DIRECTION: Nets set with 2 cod ends led north from shore had net directions 1   
  and 2. Those set from shore with the lead running south were assigned net     
  directions 3 and 4 only.  Deep water stations had 4 cod ends and therefore 4  
  net directions.                                                               
                                                                                
INITIALS:  This is a 3 character alphanumeric variable of the polycorder        
  operator's initials.                                                          
                                                                                
METHOD:  Method 1 represents a sample taken after the net had fished over at    
  least one night.  Method 2 represents a sample taken after the net had        
  fished 2 to 6 hours.  These samples were designed to collect stomach samples. 
  Method 9 indicates the net was being set and had not been fished.             
                                                                                
EHR and EMIN:  Represent the time a net was pulled using a 24 hour military     
  clock.  The missing value indicator used was 99.                              
                                                                                
QUANT:  Indicates the quantitative nature of a sample.  A value of 0 indicates  
  it was a valid sample.  A value of 1 indicates something occurred which may   
  have affected the catch.

                   the last line of each cod end's data.                        
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                
LENGTH:  Forklength of a fish in millimeters.  A length of 0 indicates          
  that no length was taken.                                                     
                                                                                
NUMBER:  The number of fish of a given species caught but not measured.         
                                                                                
NOTE:  Lengths were taken from Arctic cisco, least cisco, arctic char, and      
  broad whitefish only.  Fifty lengths were taken of the small fish defined as  
  arctic char, least cisco, and broad whitefish under 200 mm and arctic cisco   
  under 100 mm for the period from June 19 through July 23 and Arctic cisco     
  under 150 mm for the period from July 24 through the end of the season.  Any  
  value for number other than zero for these four species represents the number 
  of smaller fish not measured.  Lengths were taken for all larger fish of these
  species.  A fish with a length of 0 and number 0 represents a fish which      
  escaped or which could not be measured.  These fish may have been of any size 
  group.                                                                        
                                                                                
TAGGED:  The variable was to be used as an indication of whether small arctic   
  cisco were held for tagging.  This field was not used.                        
                                                                                
RESET:  Indicates the time the net was reset using a 24-hour military clock.    
  The reset time is entered on the last line of a cod end's data.  The missing  
  value indicator is 9999.  If a net was not reset, the reset time on the last  
  line of data is 9999.
