EMODnet Human Activities, Aquaculture, Marine Finfish
The dataset on marine finfish aquaculture in the European seas was created in 2017 by AND-International for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). The dataset provides information about the location of marine finfish farms in the EU and partner countries where data are available. There is an obligation for EU MS to inventory all authorized aquaculture sites under the Council Directive 2006/88/EC on animal health requirements. Despite this obligation, the availability of data varies among MS from no data available at all to a complete regularly updated dataset (e.g.in Ireland). As far as partner countries are concerned, data have been collected only in Norway and the UK (Scotland only) at this stage, where detailed data are provided online. Data provided here cover Cyprus, Danmark, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Malta, Norway, Spain and the UK (Scotland only). Data collection is still undergoing in other EU MS and neighbouring countries. Each point has the following attributes (where available): Country, Owner name, Status (Active, Expired, Inactive, Renewal, n.a.), Farm type (Flatfish, Diversified farm, Other specialised farm, Salmon, Salmonids, Seabass-seabream, Trout,Tuna, n.a.), Production method (Sea cages, Saltwater tanks/raceways, Saltwater ponds, Saltwater closed (recirculation), Quarantine, Other, n.a.), Production stage (Grow out for human consumption, Hatchery, Nursery, Brood stock, Reproduction, Restoration of wild stock, Put and take fisheries, Processing facility, Salughtering facility, Other, n.a.), Purpose (Commercial, Restocking, Other, n.a.), Products detailed (detailed product information names as presented in the source and translated to English), Point information (Polygon centroid, Original) depending on how the information is provided in the source (polygons or points), Site_ID. The farm type relies on a typology established by AND-International, based on available information on species grown. A relational table provides harmonised information about species grown using Eurostat nomenclature for the Species Group (Cods, hakes, haddocks; Flounders, halibuts, soles; Miscellaneous coastal fishes, Miscellaneous demersal fishes; Miscellaneous pelagic fishes; Salmons, trouts, smelts;Tunas, bonitos, billfishes), the species name (commercial and scientific) and the code. Compared with the previous version this new version has been not only updated but was also reviewed (dataset schema and attributes values), in order to add information on production methods, production stages and purposes and to provide a more useful typology based on species grown. Data from Spain are available for viewing but not for download. Data from other countries are available for viewing and download on EMODnet web portal (Human Activities, https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities).

The dataset for marine finfish aquaculture sites in the EU relies on the data collected by MS under the framework of Council Directive 2006/88/EC for animal health status ( https://ec.europa.eu/food/animals/live_animals/aquaculture_en).The harmonisation work involved the following steps:- (1) Identify species when available, translate them into English and harmonise into farm types based on species and relationship with Eurostat nomenclature for species and species groups. Details provided in the datasets vary from detailed scientific names to national common names. (2) Identify translate and harmonise, production stages (Grow out for human consumption, Hatchery, Nursery, Broodstock, Reproduction, Restoration of wild stock, Put and take fisheries, Processing facility, Slaughtering facility, Other, n.a.) and production methods (Sea cages, Saltwater tanks/racaways, Saltwater ponds, Saltwater closed (recirculation), Quarantine, Other, n.a.) (3) Data cleaning: duplicates, missing or erroneous geographic coordinates, etc. ; (4) Convert all data sets into the same reference system (WGS 84). Most important producing countries where data are missing are Italy, Croatia, France, Portugal and Germany.
