Polygon

This layer shows locations within Shetland important for shellfish creeling, as plotted in the Shetland Marine Spatial Plan. Locally compiled and validated dataset. Data supplied from two sources: interviews with Shetland fishermen, where fishing grounds were drawn on maps; and predictive mapping (contracted to Envision Mapping Ltd). The contractor created a broadscale seabed habitat (with biotope codes) and then cross-referenced with shellfish preference information to show the likelihood of the habitat distribution. These areas were validated by local fishermen. Data set may be incomplete. Consultation with fishermen / SFA is strongly advised

First sales (£GBP) from commercial fishing activity in Scottish seas of pelagic (midwater/oceanic) fish species, including UK registered fishing vessels wherever they land and non-UK vessels if landing into the UK, as recorded in last five years of published statistics. Data is redacted if less than five vessels operate within an ICES statistical rectangle (values = -1).

Data derived from salenotes provided by fish buyers and sellers to the UK fishing authorities as required under EU legislation on the Register of Buyers and Sellers.

Users are recommended to zoom in to see the detail of the graph axes.  For each layer, the colour of the ICES rectangle represents the data for the most recent year. Rectangles cross-hatched indicate that fishing takes but the data are disclosive (cannot be displayed for reasons of commercial confidentiality).

Landings by live weight (tonnes) for commercial fishing activity in Scottish seas of shellfish (crustacean/mollusc) species, including UK registered fishing vessels wherever they land and non-UK vessels if landing into the UK, as recorded in last five years of published statistics. Data is redacted if less than five vessels operate within an ICES statistical rectangle (values = -1).

Data derived from logbooks and landing declarations provided to the UK fishing authorities as required under Council Regulation (EC) No. 1224/2009 (all over 10m vessels), and any forms required by licence conditions (UK under 10m vessels).
