Fish and shellfish stock assessments data for the UK Marine Strategy 2024 assessment of descriptor 3

Stock assessment data sets for 58 quota fish stocks from 2003 to 2021 
inclusive in the Celtic Seas and Greater North Sea and widely distributed were 
collected from ICES international stock assessments database (ICES Stock 
Information Database [year accessed 2023] ICES, Copenhagen, Denmark. 
`https://sid.ices.dk`_). Stock assessment data sets for 62 non-quota 
shellfish stocks from 1990 to 2019 inclusive in the Celtic Seas and Greater 
North Sea were collected from national stock assessments reports and 
publications.

The stock assessment data for fish and shellfish stocks of UK interest is used 
to assess Good Environmental status for commercially exploited fish and 
shellfish, descriptor 3 (Impact of fishing on target species) under the UK 
Marine Strategy (UKMS). The 2024 UKMS assessment uses a stock assessment data 
to calculate of percentage of stocks being within safe biological limits 
considering 6-year period where required data is available to integrate two 
indicators assessments, reproductive capacity (based on spawning stock 
biomass) and fishing pressure (based on fishing mortality), considering 
specific maximum sustainable yield reference points that are relevant for each 
stock.

DAPSTOM Fish Stomach Data - 1836 to Present

DAPSTOM (integrated database and portal for fish stomach records) is an 
ongoing initiative (supported by Defra and the EU) to digitise and make 
available fish stomach content records spanning the past 100 years.

In this latest iteration (Version 6.3) an additional 26,767 records for 
122,137 individual predator stomachs have been added to the dataset (including 
31,488 cod stomachs), bringing the total up to 283,121 records from 481,476 
stomachs and 741 distinct research cruises/sampling campaigns. Data are 
available for 210 predator species and a huge swathe of the Northeast 
Atlantic, but particularly the North Sea, Celtic Sea, Irish Sea and area 
around Spitzbergen. 

Records span the period 1836 to 2023, and the database encompasses individuals 
ranging in size from 0.1 cm (a herring larva) to 768 cm for a basking shark 
caught in 1947.

Meso and macrozooplankton abundance in the Bristol Channel, Celtic Sea and English Channel 2017-2023

Mesozooplankton (down to ~300µm size) and macrozooplankton abundance data 
gathered as part of an ongoing annual autumn pelagic survey in the English 
Channel, Celtic Sea and Bristol Channel, with data currently available from 
2017-2022. Samples were obtained using twin ringnet deployments at set 
stations and subsequently processed back at the lab using ZooScan image 
analysis. Count abundances from semi-automatic image classifications on 
EcoTaxa are then converted into abundances per m3 using estimates of 
filtered volume from flowmeter readings. The current dataset comprises 
zooplankton results specifically from the PELTIC (Integrated Pelagic ecosystem 
survey in the Western Channel and Celtic Sea) survey series, which has 
expanded the collection of pelagic data from the core regions sampled in the 
POSEIDON survey series which ran between 2012-2016.

SmartBuoy observational network - North Dogger

On the SmartBuoy, surface measurements of plant nutrient concentrations are 
derived from two instruments. The NAS-3X in-situ nutrient analyser takes 
hourly measurements of nitrate concentration, while lower frequency (daily) 
measurements of nitrate and silicate concentration are derived from laboratory 
analysis of water samples collected and preserved by the WMS-2 water sampler. 
An estimate of phytoplankton concentration (biomass) is obtained twice per 
hour using a fluorometer measuring chlorophyll fluorescence. To aid 
interpretation of these data, SmartBuoy also takes measurements of 
conductivity, temperature, suspended sediment concentration, light penetration 
with the ESM2 logger. Data are telemetered every two hours using ORBCOMM 
satellite telemetry.

The North Dogger SmartBuoy is located at 55.6833 N, 2.28 E. It started logging 
in February 2007 and finished in September 2008.

Disabled Persons Allowance Statistics

Land & Property Services (LPS) administers an application based relief known as Disabled Persons Allowance (DPA).			
DPA is not means tested. It is an entitlement to a 25% reduction in rates for any household where both the following criteria are met:			
- a person with a disability lives; and							
- where the property has been adapted or has additional facilities added.
The property must be adapted to meet the needs of a person with a disability who lives in the home. The types of adaptations that qualify are:
- A room, other than a kitchen, bathroom or toilet, which is mainly used by the person with a disability for treatment or therapy.				
- An extra kitchen for the person with a disability.					
- An extra toilet for the person with a disability.					
- An extra bathroom.									
- Sufficient floor space to use a wheelchair easily.
The information provided is at a point in time and the tables are updated annually.

GP Prescribing Data

The data covers prescriptions that are prescribed in Northern Ireland by GPs or Nurses (within a GP Practice), that are subsequently dispensed by a community pharmacist, dispensing doctor or appliance supplier and are finally submitted to the Business Services Organisation (BSO) for payment and have been paid. 

Full user guidance is available at: https://gpdatasets.hscni.net/ 

The Gross Cost is the basic price of a drug, i.e. the price listed in the National Drug Tariff, concessionary price list, or in standard price lists. 
Please note concessionary prices have to be approved by the Department of Health (DoH). Where DoH instructs BSO to apply reimbursement prices for a particular month after payment has already been made, these are paid as an adjustment and these prices are known as late concessionary prices. Prior to May 2024 late concessionary prices were not included in the data. From May 2024 the dataset has been amended to include late concessionary price updates.

Following the development of a new database, data for August 2021 onwards may show a change in quantity for some inhalers, sprays and solutions.  Where quantities were previously listed as a device, this may now show the amount of doses dispensed.

Improvements have been made to BNF chapter classifications to ensure consistency between Northern Ireland and England. Previously over 99.5% of items prescribed and dispensed in Northern Ireland had the same BNF chapter classification as England. Of the 0.5% of items that originally differed in classification, around 99.6% referred to items previously counted as Appliances (Chapter 21) being reclassified into the Eye (Chapter 11), Ear, Nose and Oropharynx (Chapter 12) and Skin (Chapter 13) chapters. Caution should therefore be exercised when comparing figures prior to October 2021 for chapters 11, 12, 13 and 21.

After examining discrepancies relating to the BNF, developments have been made to GP Prescribing data following an improved extract from the English BSA. Therefore, from September 2018 onwards, the data will show a more fully populated ‘BNF Code’ column.  Some changes to BNF Chapter and Section will have occurred as part of this process.

Housing Stock, by District Council, recorded as vacant

This table relates to properties included in the Housing Stock and recorded as vacant on the Land & Property Services (LPS) rating system. The information provided is at a point in time and the table is updated annually, in April of each year. 

In line with the Rates Order (NI) 1977, Housing Stock is defined as a count of properties which are valued as domestic or mixed for the purposes of rating and are in use (or when next in use, will be used) for the purposes of a private dwelling. This includes properties which are temporarily incapable of beneficial occupation, but excludes Caravans, Domestic Garages, Domestic Stores and Car Parking Spaces.

Since the introduction of the Rating of Empty Homes legislation on 1st October 2011, the rate liability for vacant domestic properties has been assessed at 100%. There is currently no requirement for ratepayers to inform LPS that their property is vacant, nor is there any financial advantage in doing so. As such, information in the rating system on domestic properties recorded as vacant may not be current or complete.
