Lineage
Shellfish mariculture data from Denmark is based on data from The Aquaculture forms which Danish Aquaculture producers are forced to fill when stating their production. Production information from 2015 is not quality assured and should be used with caution. From Germany, only the location of shellfish mariculture is provided. Since there is only one minor business, information on annual production and nutrient loads are confidential for reasons of competition and not accessible for submission. For Sweden, The data has been delivered by Swedish Board of Agriculture in addition to the data on finfish mariculture that was delivered in April 2016 and was extracted from the Swedish Portal for Environmental Reporting (SMP) and merged as a national dataset. No data on shellfish mariculture were included in the SMP and were consequently not included in the spring delivery. Only the location of shellfish mariculture is provided for facilities in 2015. Area (km2) of the shellfish mariculture is calculated from the original polygon information and may not represent actual area of mariculture. For point features no information on area was provided. The dataset was approved by all HELCOM Contracting Parties in the HOLAS II Human activities data review process during first quarter of 2017 after corrections.
