Lineage
An Excel spreadsheet was supplied by SEPA, this contained information on the owners of the site, the national grid reference, species grown, biomass licensed and the licence consent number.
New columns were added, each for the species of fish grown.
The NGR was converted into Eastings and Northings before being displayed in ArcMap.
A spatial join was performed with a 10km squared grid based on location, with attributes being summed, giving the fields for total number of farms per 10km squared, sum of biomass, and the number of farms growing each of the species of fish. For cells that have more fish species grown than farms present indicates more than one species is grown at each farm.
