  • This core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment based on concentrations of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) in Baltic Sea fish. Quantitative threshold values are used to classify core indicators status in "Fail", "Achieve" or "Not assessed". The threshold value is an environmental quality standard (EQS), derived at EU level as a substance included on the priority list under Directive 2008/105/EC. This dataset displays the result of the indicator in HELCOM Assessment Scale 4 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins and further division into coastal and off-shore areas and division of the coastal areas by WFD water types or water bodies). Attribute information: "OBJECTID" = Object identification "HELCOM_ID" = Code of the HELCOM scale 4 assessment unit "Country" = country( opensea "Contamination ratio in biota" = Contamination ratio in biota for this substance "Status in biota" = Status of the indicator in biota (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”) "Contamination ratio in sediment" = Contamination ratio in sediment for this substance "Status in sediment" = Status of the indicator in sediment (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”) "Overall Status" = Overall Status of the indicator according to one-out-all-out (“Achieve”, “Fail” or “Not assessed”) "level_2" = Name of assessment unit for the evaluation "type_desc" = Description of the assessment unit "name" = Name of the scale 4 assessment unit

  • Summary Estimated observations of the biotope AA.A1H2, AB.A1H2, AA.M1H2 and AB.M1H2 were collected from the Baltic Sea area by expert judgements for HELCOM Red List of biotopes, habitats and biotope complexes. Description Baltic photic or aphotic rock and boulders or mixed substrate dominated by erect moss animals (Flustra foliacea) The HELCOM Red List of Baltic Sea underwater biotopes, habitats and biotope complexes (2013) is an updated and improved version of the Red List assessment of marine and coastal biotopes and biotope complexes published in 1998. The classification of the report follows the proposed International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) criteria and assessment principals but with some modifications for the Baltic Sea. Altogether, the HELCOM Underwater Biotope and habitat classification (HELCOM HUB) includes 209 biotopes of which 59 were red-listed. Many of the red-listed biotopes are located in deep areas of the Baltic Sea due to oxygen-free nature as well as in the southwestern Baltic Sea due to the salinity restricted distribution of species in certain biotope. The HELCOM assessment relies heavily on expert judgment and inference, and the questionnaire data represents the estimated presence-absence data not in-situ measured data. This must be taken in account when observing the map presentation. The biotopes are shown on the map using the EEA 100 km grid. This dataset displays estimated presence of AA.A1H2, AB.A1H2, AA.M1H2 andAB.M1H2according to HELCOM RED LIST assessment experts: The Flustra foliacea dominated biotope commonly occurs from Kattegat to the Mecklenburg Bight andArkona Basin (Kadetrinne). The spatial restriction to the Western Baltic Sea is due to the salinityrequirements of the dominant species Flustra foliacea. The more to the west or north-west this biotopeoccurs the higher the salinities, and in consequence the higher the diversity of inhabiting invertebrateand fish communities. The distribution map indicates the area in the 100 x 100 km grid where biotope isknown to occur, the occurrence of the biotope in the photic zone is restricted to the negative surfaces offor example boulders. AA.A1H2, AB.A1H2, AA.M1H2 and AB.M1H2 have been placed in the Red List classification to the category of Near Threatened (NT) biotopes. (Data (expert judgements) collected in HELCOM RED LIST project, released in May 2013)

  • Observations of Taurulus bubalis were collected from the Baltic Sea area for HELCOM Red List species list. The HELCOM Red List of Baltic Sea species in danger of becoming extinct (2013) is the first threat assessment for Baltic Sea species that covers all marine mammals, fish, birds, macrophytes (aquatic plants), and benthic invertebrates, and follows the Red List criteria of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Almost 2800 species were considered in the Red List assessment and about 1750 were evaluated according to the IUCN Red List criteria. Taurulus bubalis has been placed to the Red List category of Least Concern (LC) species. The map shows the sub-basins in the HELCOM area where the species is known to occur regularly and to reproduce (HELCOM 2012).

  • This dataset represents the underlying data on core indicator 'Reproductive disorders: malformed embryos of amphipods 2018'. The core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment based on the presence of hazardous substances in the bottom sediments. The rate of embryo malformations indicates reproductive toxicity due to the presence of hazardous substances in the bottom sediments. The threshold value has not been achieved on all stations within each basin indicating that toxic effects of contaminants may be present. The variability of the malformation rate is much greater within a basin than between the Bothnian Sea and the Baltic proper. This dataset displays the result of the indicator in HELCOM Assessment Scale 2 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins). Attribute information: "YEAR" = Year of sampling "Basin" = Subbasin abbreviation "REGION" = Region code within the Baltic Sea "STATN" = Station "Lat_WGS84d" = latitude coordinate of station "Lon_WGS84d" = longitude coordinate of station "TotalEmbry" = Total embryos "UNDIFFiren" = Undifferentiated "MALFORmed" = Malformed "MEMBraneDa" = Membrane damage "FemalesWME" = Females with malformed embryos "NofFemales" = Number of Females "AveFecundi" = Average Fecundity "STN" = "FFemWAE" = Frequency Females with aberrated embryos "FreqAberrE" = Frequency Aberrant Embryos "inGES_Fem" = inGES (Females) "inGES_Emb" = inGES (Embryos) "inGES_Over" = inGES (overall)

  • Recreational fishing yearly catches of cod 2011-2016 based on the reports of ICES Working Group on Recreational Fisheries Surveys (WGRFS). Recreational fishing is the capture or attempted capture of living aquatic resources mainly for leisure and/or personal consumption. This covers active fishing methods including line, spear, and hand–gathering and passive fishing methods including nets, traps, pots, and set–lines (considered recreational in some countries).
