Inshore Fishing - ScotMap - Relative Value (£) |
ScotMap is a Marine Scotland project which provides spatial information on the fishing activity of Scottish registered commercial fishing vessels under 15 m in overall length. The data were collected during face-to-face interview with individual vessel owners and operators and relate to fishing activity for the period 2007 to 2011. The data are aggregated and analysed to provide information on the monetary value, relative importance (relative value) and the usage (number of fishing vessels and crew) of seas around Scotland.
The dataset, as of July 2013, is based on interviews of 1,090 fishermen. Individuals defined their fishing areas with variable levels of precision. Users of the data should be aware of this, particularly of the coverage provided by the ScotMap data set which varies regionally.
The layer shows the relative value of each grid cell.

Fishing Statistics - Sea Fisheries Statistics Ports (2013 onwards) |
The annual Scottish Sea Fisheries Statistics report is aggregated into districts, which reflect the area of responsibility of the local fishery office. This dataset shows the approximate location (point) of the ports and creeks within each district. The districts are for illustrative purposes only. The dataset was updated in 2013 to reflect changes to Ullapool district and renaming Pittenweem district as Anstruther.

Inshore Fishing - ScotMap - Number of Vessels |
ScotMap is a Marine Scotland project which provides spatial information on the fishing activity of Scottish registered commercial fishing vessels under 15 m in overall length. The data were collected during face-to-face interview with individual vessel owners and operators and relate to fishing activity for the period 2007 to 2011. The data are aggregated and analysed to provide information on the monetary value, relative importance (relative value) and the usage (number of fishing vessels and crew) of seas around Scotland.
The dataset, as of July 2013, is based on interviews of 1,090 fishermen. Individuals defined their fishing areas or ‘polygons’ with variable levels of precision. Users of the data should be aware of this, particularly of the coverage provided by the ScotMap data set which varies regionally.
This layer shows the number of vessels and provides information on the spatial extent of fishing as reported during interviews and a representation of fishing intensity i.e. where most boats fish. The number of vessels in each grid cell is the sum of the number of polygons (fishing areas) which overlap the cell.

Fishing Statistics - Average number of days per year of foreign vessel fishing activity in Scottish waters per ICES square (2012) |
This dataset shows the average number of days per year of foreign vessel fishing activity in Scottish waters, displayed per ICES square. (Based on VMS positions received every two hours from EU vessels and every hour from third country vessels.)

Inshore Fishing - ScotMap - Crab and Lobster Pots - Monetary Value (£) |
ScotMap is a Marine Scotland project which provides spatial information on the fishing activity of Scottish registered commercial fishing vessels under 15 m in overall length. The data were collected during face-to-face interview with individual vessel owners and operators and relate to fishing activity for the period 2007 to 2011. The data are aggregated and analysed to provide information on the monetary value, relative importance (relative value) and the usage (number of fishing vessels and crew) of seas around Scotland.
The dataset, as of July 2013, is based on interviews of 1,090 fishermen. Individuals defined their fishing areas with variable levels of precision. Users of the data should be aware of this, particularly of the coverage provided by the ScotMap data set which varies regionally.
This layer shows the monetary value of polygons identifying crab and/or lobster (i.e. brown crab and/or velvet crab, green crab, spider/spiny crab, common lobster, crawfish, squat lobster) as the primary or secondary target species where fishing gear is pots.

Nephrops static 2009-2013 amalgamated VMS intensity layer |
The Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) provides information on the location and identity of all vessels greater than 15m in length. This layer shows the VMS data for all UK registered commercial fishing vessels (>15m length) fishing using static gear for Nephrop species for the period 2009-2013. This provides an indication of the most intense areas for Nephrops in Scottish waters. The values contained within the layer should not be taken as an absolute representation of amount of fishing vessels in a given area. Rather, the VMS values are a product of the statistical model used.

Inshore Fishing - ScotMap - Monetary Value (£) |
ScotMap is a Marine Scotland project which provides spatial information on the fishing activity of Scottish registered commercial fishing vessels under 15 m in overall length. The data were collected during face-to-face interview with individual vessel owners and operators and relate to fishing activity for the period 2007 to 2011. The data are aggregated and analysed to provide information on the monetary value, relative importance (relative value) and the usage (number of fishing vessels and crew) of seas around Scotland.

This layer shows the monetary value associated with each grid cell. The value associated with each fishing polygon is calculated from the percentage contribution and gross vessel earnings data. Each polygon is overlaid with a grid and the polygon monetary value is divided by the number of overlapping grid cells, to equally distribute the value to all overlapping grid cells irrespective of the extent of the overlap.
