Description

Records of unique photo-identified individual common bottlenose dolphins observed on date of survey. The ID# and date of each record correspond to the photograph file name in the catalog

Entity Type
Data Table

Data Attribute / Type	Description
ID# character	identification number of a unique individual dolphin. The CB prefix indicates Choctawhatchee Bay
Survey Date Date	Date Of Observation
Enc# Integer	encounter number, encounter count is reset to 1 at the beginning of each survey/day
Vessel Character	Name of Vessel Used For Data Collection
Lat numeric	Latitude of observation
Long Numeric	Longitude of observation
Distinctiveness character	a subjective measure of dorsal fin distinctiveness or â€œrecognizabilityâ€,.
NTEC character	Non-trailing edge characteristics (NTEC) - indicates a distinctive mark on the dorsal fin or peduncle of the animal with an otherwise clean trailing edge of the dorsal fin LEN=Leading Edge Notch PN=Peduncle Notch TN=Top Notch Dent=indent rather than notch
Photo Quality character	Coded value which reprsents a subjective measure of photographic quality. Factors influencing photo quality include: degree of focus, angle, contrast, distance, and whole or partial dorsal fin exposure (e.g., if a dorsal fin is partially submerged by water)
Biopsy character	Sample identification number of an individual if a remote biopsy sample was collected during the encounter
Sex Character	biological sex identified from photographs for some individuals (e.g., a photograph of the genitalia)
Effort Character	Survey effort designated as "on" or "of" depending on the watch status of the survey crew. Surveys designated as "on" followed standard visual survey protocol, as described in Conn et al. 2011.
