Summary: Fishery-independent groundfish data for the east coast of North America from Cape Hatteras to the US/Canadian border and for Bay of Fundy through the Scotian Shelf. Time period is 1970-95. Efforts are underway to extend taxonomic. tempoaral and spatial coverage of data available from OBIS. OBIS Schema concepts implemented in this data set are:DateLastModified. InstitutionCode. CollectionCode. CatalogNumber. ScientificName. BasisOfRecord. Phylum. Class. Order. Family. Genus. Species. ScientificNameAuthor. YearCollected. MonthCollected. DayCollected. JulianDay. TimeOfDay. ContinentOcean. Locality. Longitude. Latitude. MinDepth. Notes. StartYearCollected. EndYearCollected. StartMonthCollected. EndMonthCollected. StartDayCollected. EndDayCollected. StartTimeofDay. EndtimeofDay. StartLongitude. EndLongitude. StartLatitude. EndLatitude. Temperature. ObservedIndividualCount.
