Metadata: 2010 Shellfish farming: Classification of shellfish harvesting areas and designated shellfish waters around Shetland
Abstract:
This map shows the location and classification boundaries of shellfish beds under the EU Shellfish Hygiene Directive. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is responsible for ensuring that shellfish harvesting areas are monitored and classified according to European legislation. This includes responsibility for the designation of harvesting areas, setting standards and reporting the classification of harvesting areas according to the presence of faecal indicator organisms. The degree of shellfish contamination determines the degree of depuration (purification) required before the produce may be commercially marketed. Fishermen may only exploit on a commercial basis those shellfish from areas which have the appropriate FSAS hygiene classification.
Data holder:
Data Archive for Seabed Species and Habitats (DASSH)
Use constraints:
Data is freely avilable for research or commercial use providing that the originators are acknowledged in any publications produced.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 2837 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2010 Shellfish farming: Classification of shellfish harvesting areas and designated shellfish waters around Shetland |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 2fc595f5aa73c3fd2d6c0c88e5e994a0 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | SSMEIShetland-36 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-01-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-02-23 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | asNeeded |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The boundaries of the classification of shellfish harvesting areas were provided by the Food Standards Agency Scotland (FSAS) and mapped using the OS coastline by the Scottish Sustainable Marine Environment Initiative (SSMEI) Shetland pilot. A GIS file of designated shellfish waters was provided by SEPA (and this was mapped also using the OS coastline). |
