2011 - 2012 Centre for Environment, Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (Cefas) Spawning and Nursery Grounds Layers for Selected Fish in UK Waters in 2010

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).
