Details
Set start time to a fixed time for all stations. Appropriate when BioticData is read from NMDbiotic.
Set the column 'stationstarttime' on the table 'fishstation' in BioticData to a fixed time.
Setting a fixed time to stationstarttime facilitates conversion to StoxBioticData
using StoxBiotic, and is applicable if hourly resolution of date and time is not necessary
for subsequent analysis.
'stationstarttime' is 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.
