Nephrops - nursery grounds (Coull et al 1998) |
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 is available from CEFAS via http://data.cefas.co.uk/#/View/149. This layer displays nursery grounds for Nephrops.

Demersal Fish - Spatial variation in Size Composition (Large Fish Indicator) of demersal fish in waters around Scotland, averaged over the period 1999 to 2008 |
The spatial variation in size composition (Large Fish Indicator) of Demersal fish in waters around Scotland, averaged over the period 1999 to 2008.
This dataset is part of the larger Spatial Variation of Demersal Fish in Waters Around Scotland Dataset, which includes three layers that show the spatial variation of Demersal fish (generally living on or near the seabed) in waters around Scotland (averaged over the period 1999 to 2008) for:
- Size Composition (Large Fish Indicator) (defined as the proportion of fish (by weight) in the community that is greater than 40 cm in length). The higher the value (varying between 0 and 1), the greater the proportion of large fish in the community.
- Species Richness (a count of the number of demersal fish species recorded in any survey sample).
- Species Diversity (indices that also take account of the relative abundance of each species in the sample).
All three datasets are based on surveys carried out by ICES set up to provide fisheries independent information to support stock assessments.

Human Population - Census 2011 - Density of Usual Residents by Output Areas |
Usual residents and their density by output areas as determined during 2011 Census. Output Areas are the smallest geographical area for which census results are published. Table data on usual residents was downloaded from Census 2011 website(http://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/r1-downloadable-files) and joined to 2001 output areas polygons. Density was calculated by dividing usual residents by the polygon area (hectares measured on British National Grid projection).

Human Population - Mid-2012 Population Density Estimates for Localities in Scotland (NRS) |
This layer shows the population density (persons per hectare) estimate by locality. The estimate is derived from the report "Mid-2012 Population Estimates for Settlements and Localities in Scotland" by General Register Office for Scotland (GRO) / National Records of Scotland (NRS). Localities correspond to the more recognisable towns and cities of Scotland which can be found within settlements. They also have a minimum rounded population of 500 people or more. The locality data sets are updated every 2 years.

Human Population - Census 2011 - Density of Usual Residents by Datazone |
Usual residents and their density by datazone as determined during 2011 Census. Scotland is divided into 6,505 data zones which are the main geography used for small area statistics.
The table data on usual residents was downloaded from Census 2011 website(http://www.scotlandscensus.gov.uk/r1-downloadable-files) and joined to 2001 datazones polygons. The density was calculated by dividing usual residents by the polygon area (hectares measured on British National Grid projection).
