  Description:
    Abstract: This layer provides the nominal nursery grounds for 17 highly mobile species distributed at a half ICES statistical rectangle resolution (0.5 by 0.5 degrees), Data were obtained from sampling surveys and Coull et al. (1998). Areas of higher concetrations of juveniles are considered to relate to more important nursery grounds.
    Purpose: To provide spatial data on nursery ground of selected UK fish.
    Supplemental_Information:
      For species where there is sufficient data there are two layers, which differ in th e 'Intensity' attribute.
      Intensity :
      H = main nursery ground. Areas with high relative abundance of juveniles.
      L = nursery ground
