Area Management - Salmon Fishery Districts

Salmon Fishery District boundaries, used by Scottish Government Marine Scotland for reporting annual salmon catch statistics (which are obtained from salmon catch returns made by the owners/occupiers/agents of salmon fisheries) and for annual salmon stock assessment under the Salmon Conservation (Scotland) Regulations.

District boundaries were interpreted from the Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Acts 1862 - 1868, and are based on Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) river catchments and licensed Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) 1:50,000 data. Boundaries and attributes were updated in 2019 and no further boundary or attribute changes have been required.

Salmon Fishery Districts are available to view as a layer on the Marine Scotland Open Data Network – see Marine Scotland Information pages for Salmon and Sea Trout Fishing at https://marine.gov.scot/themes/salmon-sea-trout-fishing. Boundaries were re-projected from British National Grid (BNG) to WGS84 Web Mercator before upload to Marine Scotland MAPS NMPi.

As the layer was derived by the Scottish Government from a licensed dataset, it is not downloadable or routinely available. It can be shared on request if the user provides evidence that they hold a licence from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) for the 1:50,000 Digital Terrain Model (DTM).

鲑鱼渔区边界，由苏格兰政府海洋苏格兰部门用于报告年度鲑鱼捕捞统计数据（这些数据来源于鲑鱼渔场的所有者、占用者或代理提交的鲑鱼捕捞回执）以及根据《苏格兰鲑鱼保护法》进行的年度鲑鱼种群评估。渔区边界系根据1862年至1868年的《苏格兰鲑鱼渔业法》进行解读，并基于苏格兰环境保护局（SEPA）的河流流域及获许可的生态与水文中心（CEH）1:50,000比例尺的数据。边界和属性于2019年进行了更新，此后无需进一步调整。鲑鱼渔区可作为图层在海洋苏格兰开放数据网络中查看——请参阅海洋苏格兰信息页面关于鲑鱼和海鳟钓鱼的信息，网址为https://marine.gov.scot/themes/salmon-sea-trout-fishing。在上传至海洋苏格兰MAPS NMPi之前，边界已从英国国家网格（BNG）重新投影至WGS84 Web Mercator坐标系。由于该图层由苏格兰政府从授权数据集中提取，因此不可下载或常规获取。如用户能提供持有生态与水文中心（CEH）1:50,000数字地形模型（DTM）许可证的证据，则可申请共享。
