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).

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
