The Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) spawning grounds dataset is derived from the existing (Gonzalez-Irusta and Wright, 2016) spawning ground map available in the SpatialData.gov.scot Metadata Portal. (Gonzalez-Irusta and Wright, 2016) spawning ground dataset has been modified in order to comply with the standard format developed by the EMODnet Seabed Habitats Lot. In that EMODnet format, the map key classifies areas as ‘high’, ‘medium’, and 'low' suitability.

The wedge sole (Dicologlossa cuneata) nursery grounds dataset is derived from the existing (Trimoreau et al, 2013) nursery ground map available in the Sextant Ifremer data catalogue. (Trimoreau et al, 2013) nursery ground dataset has been modified in order to comply with the standard format developed by the EMODnet Seabed Habitats Lot. In that EMODnet format, the map key classifies areas as ‘high’, ‘medium’, and 'low' suitability. The juvenile density values provided in (Trimoreau et al, 2013) dataset have been used to classify areas as ‘high’, ‘medium’, and 'low' suitability.
