EMODnet Human Activities, Aquaculture, Shellfish
The dataset on shellfish aquaculture in the Eropean seas was created in 2014 by AND-International for the European Marine Observation and Data Network (EMODnet). It is the result of the aggregation and harmonization of datasets provided by national sources across the EU (plus Norway and the UK) and by the project Euroshell. The dataset contains points representing shellfish farms or shellfish production areas (depending on available data) in the following countries: Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Slovenia, Spain and United Kingdom. Data from Bulgaria, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Norway, Spain and Scotland come from the official lists of registered aquaculture sites. Data from France relies on cadastral data. Data from the Netherlands, Italy and England and Wales come from the Euroshell project. Data is missing for Germany, Portugal, Sweden and Croatia. Except for Germany, the shellfish production remains limited in those MS. There is no production in other MS. Each point has the following attributes (where available): status (active, inactive, licensed), country, owner name, farm type (Mussels, Oysters, Mussels-Oysters, Clams, Specialised (other), Mixed (other)), production method (Beds, Long lines, Rafts, Saltwater closed (recirculation), Saltwater ponds, Saltwater tanks/raceways, Trestles or trays, Other), production stage (Grow out for human consumption, Hatchery, Nursery, Broodstock, Reproduction, Harvest, Other), purpose (Commercial, Research, Education, Display, Other), products detailed (English translation of the information provided on species grown or authorised in the source), point information (Polygon centroid, Original) depending on how the information is provided in the source (polygons or points), site_id, distance to coast (metres), position from coastline (At sea, within the coastline). The farm type relies on a typology established by AND-International, based on available information on species grown or authorised. A relational table provides harmonised information about species grown or authorised using Eurostat nomenclature for the Species Group (Mussels; Oysters; Clams, cockles, arkshells; Scallops, pectens; Abalones, winkles, conchs; Sea-urchins and other echinoderms) and when available the species name (e.g. Blue mussels - Mytilus edulis). The distance to coast (EEA coastline shapefile) has been calculated using the original data map projections, where available. In the other cases it was used the UTM WGS84 Zone projected coordinate system where data fall in. Compared with the previous version this new version includes updated data for Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Norway and Scotland and new data from Slovenia and Spain. Data are available for viewing and download on EMODnet - Human Activities web portal (https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/human-activities), except for the data from Spain, which are available in the viewer, but not for download.

Lineage
Statement | The dataset for shellfish production areas in the EU relies on various sources: the EUROSHELL project (http://www.euroshell-net.eu/) for Italy, the Netherlands and England; the data collected from national sources for Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Greece, Ireland, Norway, Slovenia, Spain and Scotland. The harmonisation work involves identifying species when available, translating them into English and harmonising into standard definitions and a common typology. Details provided in the datasets vary from detailed scientific names to national common names. Data are missing for Germany (significant mussel production), Sweden (small mussel production) and Portugal (very small oyster and clam production). According to available FAO, EU and national statistics, there is no shellfish farming in other MS. Validation and quality assurance remain up to primary data sources, while harmonization is carried out by AND-International. Extensive harmonization work was carrying out for France as cadastral data came from various regional or departmental sources. For further information on validation and quality assurance, it is suggested that primary data sources are contacted. Generally speaking data are to be considered reliable, because they come from national sources officially in charge for their collection. Timeliness of the data however varies among countries. |
