Description
Preserve explicit fish survey effort transcription and censoring code.
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.
Preserve explicit fish survey effort transcription and censoring code.
When to use this tool
Use Ichthyofauna Survey Effort Censored Code when you already have surveyId, effortText, suppliedCensorCode and need to preserve explicit fish survey effort transcription and censoring code.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter surveyId, effortText, suppliedCensorCode. 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 surveyId, effortText, suppliedCensorCode 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 |
|---|---|---|
| surveyId | Survey Id | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| effortText | Effort Text | Required. Text; minimum UTF-16 length 1; maximum UTF-16 length 8192. |
| suppliedCensorCode | Supplied Censor Code | 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. |
{
"input": {
"surveyId": "S17",
"effortText": ">2 hours",
"suppliedCensorCode": "right-censored"
},
"output": {
"token": "[\"S17\",\">2 hours\",\"right-censored\"]"
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- The result records supplied values without imputing effort or abundance. 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.
