Metadata: Aquaculture disease management areas
Abstract:
Management Areas were established in the Final Report of the Joint Government/Industry Working Group on Infectious Salmon Anaemia in January 2000, based on tidal excursions around active farms. Farms with overlapping tidal excursions will usually be within the same management area. Recommendations include that all sites within the same management area follow an acceptable stocking strategy (see figure 10.1 in Code of Practice) such that fallowing within a management area is synchronised. Fish farmers are encouraged to look carefully at the areas before stocking sites. New sites that would have no effect on management areas or are in management areas of their own pose less of a risk to the spread of disease than those which bridge management areas. Stocking a previously unused site that may bridge management areas should be avoided. Fish Farmers should consider not restocking a site if it would create a "fire break" and split one of the larger management areas into two smaller areas. The Management Area Maps will be updated when a change in site use leads to a significant change a management area but if you require a map showing the effect of stocking or inactivating a specific site please contact the Duty Inspector at the FHI.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5978 |
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. | Aquaculture disease management areas |
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. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_1001 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | Marine_Scotland_FishDAC_1001 |
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 | 2012-10-09 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2022-12-01 |
Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | 50.00 |
Spatial resolution unit | This describes the unit of spatial resolution which for distance must be metres. | http://standards.iso.org/ittf/PubliclyAvailableStandards/ISO_19139_Schemas/resources/uom/gmxUom.xml#m |
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'. | As Needed |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Polygons created from separation distances around active sea water aquaculture sites taking into account tidal excursions and other epidemiological risk factors as detailed in the Final Report of the Joint Government/Industry Working Group on Infectious Salmon Anaemia in January 2000 (http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Uploads/Documents/JGIWGReport.pdf). Polygons created based on locations of active sea water farm sites and overlapping circles of 7.258km between mainland farm sites and 3.629km between Shetland farm sites. Datasets are: merged_areas.shp (the polygons) and separators.shp (lines highlighting the divisions between adjacent polygons) |
