Table 1 Primary sources for the environmental component data sets.
Environmental feature category | Environmental feature | Unit | Primary source (raw data) |
|---|---|---|---|
Seabed habitats (EUNIS) | A3—infralittoral rock and other hard substrata A4—circalittoral rock and other hard substrata A5—sublittoral sediment | Presence/absence | https://www.emodnet-seabedhabitats.eu/access-data/download-data/ Feature: Broad-scale seabed habitat map (EUSeaMap)—EUNIS/full-detail classifications (updated 1st July 2019) |
Marine mammal | Harbor purpoise | Probability of densities (nr. of animals per \({\mathrm{km}}^{2}\)) | Waggitt, James (2020), Data from: “Distribution maps of cetacean and seabird population in the North-East Atlantic”, V6, Dryad, Dataset, https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.mw6m905sz. The environmental components used in the binomial and Poisson models are annual temperature/variance, breeding colony index, breeding cycle, water depth, fronts, land, regional temperature, and seabed roughness |
Birds | Razorbill, fulmar, guillemot | Probability of densities (nr. of animals per \({\mathrm{km}}^{2}\)) | SEAPOP program (http://www.seapop.no/en/distribution-status/ ) through the online data portal (https://www2.nina.no/seapop/seapophtml/). The statistical model uses count data and geographically-fixed explanatory variables (geographic position, water depth, distance to coast) to predict the densities of the different species |
Fish | Haddock | CPUE/absence and individual counts | |
Sandeel | CPUE/absence and individual counts | ||
Whiting | CPUE/absence and individual counts | ||
Saithe pollack | CPUE/absence and individual counts | ||
Sprat | CPUE/absence and individual counts |
