New columns were added, each for the species of fish grown. The NGR was converted into Eastings and Northings before being displayed in ArcMap. A spatial join was performed with a 10km squared grid based on location, with attributes being summed, giving the fields for total number of farms per 10km squared, sum of biomass, and the number of farms growing each of the species of fish. For cells that have more fish species grown than farms present indicates more than one species is grown at each farm. If any sensitive species or biotope records are present within this dataset, they will have been removed. If you wish to request access to sensitive species records, please contact the metadata contact. The UK Sensitive Species list has been agreed by UK statutory bodies and relevant experts. It can be viewed here https://docs.nbnatlas.org/sensitive-species-list/. Please note sensitive species lists can vary across the UK.
