Nutrient inputs from fish farms in Denmark are calculated on the basis of production data. Some numbers that were missing on nutrient input in Sweden have been calculated by SCB, Statistics Sweden (red numbers) based on average input/ amount produced fish.No exact area (km2) of the finfish mariculture was available, hence an estimate is given if been possible to calculate.Temporal coverage of the data varies by country: Denmark data covers only 2014, Sweden 2011 – 2014 and Finland in part 2011 – 2015: data on finfish production was unavailable, data on nutrient loading is lacking from some of the fish farming facilities and from Åland only data from 2014 was available. Dataset for annual production (year 2014), annual loads and coordinates from Denmark are quality assured.The Swedish data has been extracted from the Swedish Portal for Environmental Reporting and merged as a national dataset. The Finnish dataset has been extracted from the VAHTI database (Finnish Environment Institute). |
