RMIS Reporting Queries
To ensure proper use of these data, data providers and consumers should consult the RMIS documents, including the User Guide and data specification, at the bottom of the page.
The RMIS Standard Reporting (RSR) query system is the standard method of accessing coded wire tag data from the database.
This system allows the user to build a query, select, and optionally preview the result set row by row, and then run a formatted report of their choice using the result set. The report may then be returned to the browser, or sent to their email address. Data retrieval includes selection by location or by tag code as well as many other data elements.
The RMIS Analysis Reporting (RAR) query system refers to a version of the CWT database that is summarized by tag code, “management-fishery” units, and age class of returning fish. RMIS Analysis allows the user to auto-generate and maintain lists of tag codes based on various criteria—such as morphological characteristics of the fish releases. RMIS Analysis also provides a means of organizing (grouping) tag codes and/or management-fisheries by various user-identified criteria and using the group definitions as units for aggregation in report output.
