The dataset is a collection of Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefiles showing the general distribution and spawning distribution of 14 fish species selected from the 46 maps in O.T. Olsen's Atlas ( `https://wellcomecollection.org/works/up4zvcsn`_) based on their relevance to the present day spawning datasets and commercial importance: cod, haddock, herring, lemon sole, mackerel, plaice, sole, whiting, skate, thornback ray, ling, horse mackerel, hake and sprat (general distribution only). The majority of the Olsen (1883) maps were for species either no longer considered in a large commercial capacity in UK waters (e.g. anchovy, garfish, tusk etc.) and/or had no comparative present day dataset available (e.g. mussels, turbot etc.). The data complements the present day fish spawning datasets, in: Coull, K.A., Johnstone, R. & Rogers, S.I.

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. | Digitised fish spawning distribution adapted from the Olsen 1883 Piscatorial Atlas |
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. | CEFAS460477E2-BCF8-4069-A640-51E55DB892EE |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CEFAS10006 |
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 | 1870-01-01 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1883-01-01 |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | In the early 1870s, Olsen created a simple questionnaire which was distributed to fishermen in Grimsby and Hull, England. He requested information on location, tides, tack, and weather; quantity and description of fish; and description of bycatch. After gathering this data for almost a decade, in 1883 Olsen published the “Piscatorial Atlas of the North Sea, English and George’s Channels”. The atlas illustrates the fishing ports, boats, gear, species of fish (how, where, and when caught) and other information concerning fish and fisheries). The National Library for Scotland, Edinburgh provided scanned copies of the requested maps in jpeg format. Of the 14 maps selected, the sprat map was subsequently discarded, as it was not possible to distinguish between the general distribution and spawning areas on the scanned version. |
