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.

The booklet 'Fishery Sensitivity Maps in British Waters' was produced by the
Fisheries Agencies with support from the United Kingdom Offshore Operator's
Association (UKOOA), the Scottish Fishermen's Federation (SFF) and the
National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations (NFFO).
The maps were compiled from data collected and collated by Fisheries Research
Services, Scotland (FRS) and Cefas. This work formed part of comprehensive
study programmes financed, respectively, by The Scottish Office and by Defra.
