This data refers to a numerical model validation, in Kuwait Bay, for both the hydrodynamics and the biogeochemistry. Also, there is a dataset regarding finfish farms modelling. Different types of data have been used for the model set up and observations for the model validation: Physical and biogeochemical observations: data from the Kuwait Environment Public Authority (KEPA) at various monitoring stations for more than 30 years, as part of KEPA’s long-term water quality monitoring programme (`http://www.emisk.org/emisk/`_ ). Tidal velocities and water levels collected by the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR). Bathymetry data: was the same as used by Bacon et al. (2014), which was based on compilation of a single beam bathymetry survey conducted in May 2014, by the authors, and complemented with digitised sections of a hydrographic chart of the area (Mina Az Zawr to Al Basrah and Bushehr-UKHO2884) (www.toddchart.com). Tidal forcing: was obtained from the OTPS regional product for the Persian Gulf at 1/60 degrees resolution (`http://volkov.oce.orst.edu/tides/PerS.html`_) Temperature and Salinity: data from the global ECMWF reanalysis model ORAP5.0, which can be downloaded from `http://icdc.cen.uni-hamburg.de/1/projekte/easy-init/easy-init-ocean.html?no_cache=1`_ .

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This work provides a range of numerical results regarding finfish modelling in Kuwait Bay, for different scenarios. Two farm size scenarios were considered: one corresponding to an average historical production and the other representing a hypothetical farm with a production 100 times higher. The aim of this work was to strengthen Cefas’ position and knowledge in the field of modelling of aquaculture farming areas. The objectives** **were to; 1) have the knowledge and ability to deploy a complex model (Delft3D) for application to aquaculture siting; 2) have identified (potentially global) data sources needed to drive those models. One paper was produced and submitted to* Environmental management. *The benefits for Cefas are the capacity and capability building, opportunities to win overseas contracts, strengthened skill sets and availability of tools and the ability to advise Defra or UK policy makers with better tools at lower cost than if the same work were carried out with the existing tools. The approach** **was to identify: what sort of questions we will need to address, the types of models available, data sources required to run the models and, where appropriate, to acquire models, test and train in usage, and develop a full-scale scenario involving data/models/expert assessment. |
