Larval observations and modelled larval ...

The provided URL gives access to several layers related to larval observations and modelled larval production areas in the Finnish coastal area. The maps give an overview of the extent and spatial distribution as well as the production potential of the larval production areas in the Finnish coastal areas. They can be used e.g. for marine spatial planning of the coastal zone. The maps are not suitable for local larval production estimates.

Please see the description of the available data in the excel file (Description of available data layers.xlsx) or directly from here: https://opendata.luke.fi/dataset/744256cd-4c79-420b-81a9-471f8c706927/resource/21c34cfd-ca43-4913-9949-f49319e44a0a/download/luke_velmu_rajapintaosoitteet_tyylit_2016_fin_eng_sve_radarlinkit.xlsx

More specific description of the larval survey methods, modelling methods and the background variables used in the models, and links to the references can be found within the RADAR metadata descriptions.
