Table 3 Data quality scores for the vulnerability assessment of key fishery resources to climate change in the Northern Humboldt Current System (adapted from a previous study49).
From: Climate vulnerability assessment of key fishery resources in the Northern Humboldt Current System
Data quality score | Description |
|---|---|
3 | High quality data: The score is based on data which have been observed, modeled or empirically measured for the species and area of interest, and that comes from a reputable source |
2 | Related data: The score is based on data which has a higher degree of uncertainty. The data used to score the attribute may be based on related or similar species, come from outside the study area, or the reliability of the source may be limited |
1 | Reviewer judgement: The attribute score reflects the judgement of the reviewer and is based on their general knowledge of the species, or other related species, and their relative role in the ecosystem |
0 | No data: No information to base an attribute score on. Very little is known about the species or related species and there is no basis for forming an expert opinion |
