Fisheries Sensitivity Maps in British Waters. 2012-08-09 publication 2023-10-06 revision 2011-10-07 creation CEFAS149 https://data.cefas.co.uk This data was prepared for the report 'Coull, K.A., Johnstone, R., and S.I. Rogers. 1998. Fisheries Sensitivity Maps in British Waters' which includes maps of the main spawning and nursery grounds for 14 commercially important species (cod, haddock, whiting, saithe, Norway pout, blue whiting, mackerel, herring, sprat, sandeels, plaice, lemon sole, sole and Norway lobster). During the late 1990s, a collaborative project between the national fisheries laboratories (Cefas and the then Fisheries Research Services, Aberdeen), the UK Offshore Operator's Association (UKOOA), the Scottish Fishermen's Association (SFF) and the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations (NFFO) produced the Fisheries Sensitivity Maps in British Waters. The data describe the sensitivities of the main commercial species under five headings: Individual species spawning areas; Individual species nursery areas; Monthly seismic restriction areas; Fishing effort maps; Relative value maps.
