Metadata: Area Management - Salmon Fishery Districts
Abstract:
Salmon Fishery District boundaries, used by Scottish Government Marine Scotland for reporting annual salmon catch statistics (which are obtained from salmon catch returns made by the owners/occupiers/agents of salmon fisheries) and for annual salmon stock assessment under the Salmon Conservation (Scotland) Regulations. District boundaries were interpreted from the Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Acts 1862 - 1868, and are based on Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) river catchments and licensed Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) 1:50,000 data. Boundaries and attributes were updated in 2019 and no further boundary or attribute changes have been required. Salmon Fishery Districts are available to view as a layer on the Marine Scotland Open Data Network – see Marine Scotland Information pages for Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing at https://marine.gov.scot/themes/salmon-sea-trout-fishing. Boundaries were re-projected from British National Grid (BNG) to WGS84 Web Mercator before upload to Marine Scotland MAPS NMPi. As the layer was derived by the Scottish Government from a licensed dataset, it is not downloadable or routinely available. It can be shared on request if the user provides evidence that they hold a licence from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) for the 1:50,000 Digital Terrain Model (DTM).

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 4002 |
| 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. | Area Management - Salmon Fishery Districts |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Scottish Salmon Fishery Districts |
| 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. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_12460 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_12460 |
| 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 | 2009-01-15 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2023-11-01 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 500.00 |
| Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO_19139_Schemas/resources/uom/gmxUom.xml#m |
| 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'. | unknown |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Salmon Fishery District boundaries were derived by Scottish Government Marine Scotland from 1:50,000 river catchment boundaries which were created by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) from the Institute of Hydrology (now the Centre for Environment and Hydrology (CEH)) 1:50,000 Digital Terrain Model (DTM) data. SEPA catchment boundaries were combined into fishery districts in GIS by interpreting the Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Act 1868, with some input from District Salmon Fishery Boards. Boundaries between districts were improved with additional naming in 2016 to support the Conservation of Salmon (Scotland) Regulations. The 1:50,000 scale of Salmon Fishery District boundaries means that they are suitable for mapping but may not be sufficiently accurate to produce exact GIS selections from, or overlaps with, other datasets. Maps containing Salmon Fishery District boundaries require Crown copyright and acknowledgement of SEPA and CEH: 'District boundaries derived from the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) 1:50,000 river catchment data, based on digital spatial data licensed from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, © NERC (CEH)' (preceded if appropriate by 'Some features of this map are'); and 'Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database right [year]'. |
