Description
Link an explicit fish tissue sample to a supplied parent specimen and site label.
Fish records distinguish morphometric length definitions, relative image scales, annulus labels, detection times and survey-effort geometry. A supplied conversion factor need not apply across species or sizes. Local labels, ratios and nominal swept areas organize observations without identifying a fish, determining age or estimating abundance.
Link an explicit fish tissue sample to a supplied parent specimen and site label.
When to use this tool
Use Fish Finclip Tissue Parent Label when you already have tissueId, parentSpecimenId, suppliedSite and need to link an explicit fish tissue sample to a supplied parent specimen and site label.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter tissueId, parentSpecimenId, suppliedSite. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read token. Use the output convention below.
Enter tissueId, parentSpecimenId, suppliedSite using the field constraints below. Encode these values, in exactly that order, as a JSON array and return the serialized array as text in token. String values are preserved without trimming or external terminology lookup.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| tissueId | Tissue Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| parentSpecimenId | Parent Specimen Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedSite | Supplied Site | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

| token | Token | Required. Text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without identifying organisms. Sources and asserted relationships are not independently authenticated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Inspect original specimens, images, reference definitions and survey logs when verifying observations. Use a complete species-appropriate measurement or population method for age, abundance or condition questions; local scales and effort terms preserve only their stated basis.
