catalognumber

An identifier (preferably unique) for the record within the data set or collection.

eventdate

The date-time or interval during which an Event occurred. For occurrences, this is the date-time when the event was recorded. Not suitable for a time in a geological context.

dateTime

locality

The specific description of the place. This term may contain information modified from the original to correct perceived errors or standardize the description.

decimallatitude

The geographic latitude of the geographic center of a Location (in decimal degrees, using the spatial reference system WGS84). Positive values are north of the Equator, negative values are south of it. Legal values lie between -90 and 90, inclusive.

decimallongitude

The geographic longitude of the geographic center of a Location (in decimal degrees, using the spatial reference system WGS84). Positive values are east of the Prime Meridian, and negative values are west of it. Legal values lie between -180 and 180, inclusive.

phylum

The full scientific name of the phylum or division in which the taxon is classified.

class

The full scientific name of the class in which the taxon is classified.

order

The full scientific name of the order in which the taxon is classified.

family

The full scientific name of the family in which the taxon is classified.

providedscientificname

The scientificname, with authorship and date information if known, as it originally appeared before of the taxonomic check.

scientificname

The full scientific name, with authorship and date information if known. When forming part of an Identification, this should be the name in lowest level taxonomic rank that can be determined. This term should not contain identification qualifications, which should instead be supplied in the IdentificationQualifier term.

totallength

Total length is the distance between the most anteriorly projecting part of the head (jaws closed) and the most distant tip of the caudal fin. In Europe, for measurement, the caudal fin has to be spread into a natural position; i.e., the two lobes of fishes with a forked tail fin are not pressed together.

wetweight

The weight of a whole fresh fish.

dryweight

The weight of a whole fish without internal water after drying in an oven at 60 °C for 12/24 hours.

ashweight

The weight of fish inorganic material obtained after muffle furnace combustion at 450-500 °C for 6/12 hours or longer for larger quantities. Ash weight is determined by subtracting the tare weight. Ash weight is often expressed as a percentage of dry weight or wet weight.

ashfreedryweight

The weight of fish organic material obtained as difference between the dry weight and the ash weight. Ash weight is determined after muffle furnace combustion at 450-500 °C for 6/12 hours or longer for larger quantities. Ash weight is determined by subtracting the tare weight. Ash weight is often expressed as a percentage of dry weight or wet weight.

parenteventid

An identifier for the broader Event that groups this and potentially other Events.

eventid

An identifier for the set of information associated with an Event (something that occurs at a place and time). May be a global unique identifier or an identifier specific to the data set.

standardlength

Length of a fish measured from the tip of the snout to the posterior end of the last vertebra or to the posterior end of the midlateral portion of the hypural plate. Simply put, this measurement excludes the length of the caudal fin.
