attribute	NC_GLOBAL	summary	String	Fish egg counts and standardized counts for eggs captured in CalCOFI icthyoplankton nets (primarily vertical [Calvet or Pairovet], oblique [bongo or ring nets], and surface tows [Manta nets]). Surface tows are normally standardized to count per 1,000 m3 strained. Oblique tows are normally standardized to count per 10 m2 of surface sampled. This table includes all tows by species, even if zero eggs were captured for the species, i.e., negative tows. The "Egg Counts Positive Tows" table includes only tows where one or more eggs were captured for the species selected by the user.
