Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission

SEAMAP has begun using new Measurement Codes.
The table below shows the mapping between the older style codes and the new ones.
Cruises that utilize the newer codes will be flagged with a Note Code of "3".
A decision was made to NOT convert the old codes to new codes in existing data,
however a new column may be added with this conversion.
