Details

Set the column 'stationstartdate' on the table 'fishstation' in BioticData to the value of 'stationstopdate'.

Setting stationstartdate facilitates conversion to StoxBioticData using StoxBiotic, and is applicable if daily resolution of date and time is not critical for subsequent analysis.

These columns are on the table 'fishstation' in data originating from NMDBiotic (http://www.imr.no/formats/nmdbiotic/). For bioticdata that does not conform to this, no modifications are done.
