Summary

The spawning grounds of whiting (Merlangius merlangus) layer has been generated to identify the likely distribution of whiting spawning in the North Sea, taking account of certain environmental influences, with due regard for possible density dependent effects on distribution. The map key refers to the ‘Index of Persistence’ of whiting spawning, where a value of 0 means that that the cell was not classified as suitable for any year during the study period and a value of 1 means that the cell was classified as suitable for all the years studied.
