A dataset that aims to simulate the tagged fish release data necessary for toothfish local biomass estimates that is stored in CCAMLR's cdb database

release_data_sim_RB

Format

A dataframe with 300 rows and 7 columns

SEASON

The simulated CCAMLR fishing season (i.e. December from the previous calendar year through to the end of November from the current calendar year) the tagged fish was released

CRUISE_ID

An ID used by Observers that is recorded with tagged fish releases

SET_ID

An ID used by Observers that is recorded for each released fish for each set-haul

SPECIES_CODE

The three letter code used by CCAMLR to record a species. In the simulated data example this represent either Antarctic toothfish = "TOA" or Patagonian toothfish = "TOP"

RESEARCH_BLOCK_CODE

A simulated hypothetical Research block code that the data fall within

ASD_CODE

A simulated hypothetical CCAMLR Management area that represents an Area, Subarea or Division code that the data fall within

LENGTH_CM

A simulated tagged and released toothfish length
