Metadata: Spawning and Nursery Grounds Layers for Selected Fish in UK Waters in 2010
Abstract:
Additional analyses to complement the original maps produced in 'Coull, K.A., Johnstone, R., and S.I. Rogers. 1998. Fisheries Sensitivity Maps in British Waters' (published and distributed by UKOOA Ltd.) and to: (a) Provide supporting evidence for the maps of spawning and nursery grounds; (b) Provide some of the more recent data that has become available since the original Fisheries Sensitivity Maps were produced; (c) Increase the number of species for which maps are available;(d) Plot the spawning areas as rectangles, so that the user is more likely to infer that the boundaries of such areas are not fixed delineations between spawning and non-spawning areas; (e) Provide more information on those grounds likely to be of greater importance to the stock(s).

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 10265 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Spawning and Nursery Grounds Layers for Selected Fish in UK Waters in 2010 |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Ellis, J.R., Milligan, S.P., Readdy, L., Taylor, N. and Brown, M.J. 2012. Spawning and nursery grounds of selected fish species in UK waters. Sci. Ser. Tech. Rep., Cefas Lowestoft, 147: 56 pp. |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | CEFAS9690c5d5-dd4d-4f81-94ce-207cc6b58466 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CEFAS153 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2011 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2012 |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | notPlanned |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Additional analyses to complement the original maps produced in 'Coull, K.A., Johnstone, R., and S.I.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Since the production of maps by Coull et el 1998 there have been further ichthyoplankton surveys in some areas, and there are now other fish species for which there is an interest in the location of ‘critical habitats’.This report aimed to update some of these maps with more recent data, and so highlighting some of the evidence for their selection, and to provide a first attempt at identifying some of the ecologically important habitats for some other fish species, including some species of conservation importance (e.g. OSPAR, 2008) that have been considered in marine planning.Spurdog Squalus acanthiasTope shark Galeorhinus galeusCommon skate Dipturus batis-complex 16 Thornback ray Raja clavataSpotted ray Raja montaguiUndulate ray Raja undulataHerring Clupea harengusCod Gadus morhuaWhiting Merlangius merlangus Blue whiting Micromesistius poutassouBlue ling Molva dypterygiaLing Molva molvaEuropean hake Merluccius merlucciusAnglerfish Lophius piscatoriusHorse mackerel Trachurus trachurusSandeels AmmodytidaeMackerel Scomber scombrus Plaice Pleuronectes platessaSole Solea solea Where a value 0f -9999 appears in the dataset this is a NULL (NA) value where no sampling was taken for the field in the data. |
