Summary | Nephrops Functional Units Statistical Rectangles represent geographic area management and reporting units for Nephrops Underwater Television (UWTV) surveys. The Irish Functional units Statistical Rectangles divisions were based on ICES Statistical Rectangle boundaries. The prawn (Nephrops norvegicus) are common around the Irish coast occurring in geographically distinct sandy/muddy areas were the sediment is suitable for them to construct their burrows. Nephrops spend a great deal of time in their burrows and their emergence from these is related to time of year, light intensity and tidal strength. Functional units include the Aran Grounds, the Irish Sea, Celtic Sea and Porcupine Bank. Functional units statistical rectangle data integration for reporting purposes created in 2002. ICES Statistical rectangles that match the Functional Units are selected. Functional units statistical rectangles created to support area management and reporting of the Nephrops shellfish marine resource. Nephrops Functional Units created by the fisheries science survey team of the Marine Institute (Ireland). Functional units complete for Nephrops UWTV reporting purposes. |
