Replication Data for: Data on European seafood biomass production by country, sectors and species in 2004-2014 and on ecological characteristics of the main species produced

We present the 2004-2014 average European seafood production volume by production sector, country and species. The production data originates from the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and covers three production sectors: marine fisheries, marine aquaculture and freshwater production. We also present the main ecological characteristics of each species produced or harvested. These species characteristics were retrieved from various published sources and include biological sensitivity to harvesting and temperature ranges for the most important species. The main challenge for the European seafood industry is to ensure sustainable production volume while adapting to climate warming. Marine fisheries mainly target 41 species which account for 80% of the seafood production in Europe. The remaining 20% comes from marine and freshwater aquaculture, which harvest mainly 5 and 11 species, respectively. European seafood production volume (2004–2014) recorded by FAO was combined with indices of temperature sensitivity and biological sensitivity (BS) based on the life histories of the main exploited species. We found that the marine sectors are more vulnerable to global warming than the freshwater sector. The vulnerability to warming of a country’s production is defined by the temperature sensitivity and the BS of the main exploited seafood species, weighted by their production volume. Production vulnerability in the marine sector increases with latitude due to the temperature sensitivity of the harvested species and their high production volume. No such gradient is found in the freshwater sector because most of the production is based on two species with opposite temperature sensitivity. To ensure a sustainable European seafood production, national climate strategies and action plans should include both fisheries and aquaculture and be integrated at a regional level.本数据集呈现了2004至2014年欧洲按生产门类、国家及物种分类的海产品平均产量。本数据集的生产数据源自联合国粮食及农业组织（Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, FAO），涵盖三大生产门类：海洋捕捞业、海水养殖业与淡水养殖业。此外，本数据集还收录了所有捕捞或养殖物种的主要生态特征；这些物种特征来自各类已发表文献，其中针对核心物种包含了其对捕捞活动的生物敏感性及适宜温度范围。 欧洲海产品产业面临的核心挑战，是在适应气候变暖的同时保障生产的可持续性。海洋捕捞业主要以41个物种为捕捞对象，其产量占欧洲海产品总产量的80%；剩余20%的产量来自海水养殖与淡水养殖，其中海水养殖主要涉及5个养殖物种，淡水养殖则主要涉及11个养殖物种。 本研究将联合国粮农组织记录的2004至2014年欧洲海产品产量数据，与基于核心捕捞物种生活史得到的温度敏感性指数及生物敏感性（Biological Sensitivity, BS）指数进行了整合。研究发现，相较于淡水养殖门类，海洋门类更易受全球变暖影响。一国海产品生产的气候变暖脆弱性，由其核心捕捞海产品物种的温度敏感性与生物敏感性，结合其产量占比加权计算得出。由于捕捞物种的温度敏感性及其较高的产量占比，海洋门类的生产脆弱性随纬度升高而增强；淡水养殖门类则未呈现此类纬度梯度特征，因其绝大部分产量基于两个温度敏感性相反的物种。为保障欧洲海产品生产的可持续性，各国气候战略与行动计划应同时涵盖捕捞业与养殖业，并在区域层面实现统筹整合。
