Indicators of sensitivity, exposure, adaptive capacity and vulnerability of scallop fishing vessels to the risk of harmful algal blooms (HABs) in the eastern English Channel

This dataset was created within the framework of the S3-EUROHAB project. It contains the vulnerability index of scallop fishing vessels exposed to the risk of harvest closures due to HABs toxins and the potential contamination in scallops, as well as the sensitivity, exposure and adaptive capacity indicators used to calculate the vulnerability composite index. These data cover the French coasts of the eastern English Channel and the period of the scallop fishing season between 2012-2013 and 2018-2019. The indicators are calculated per fishing fleet category which corresponds to a segmentation based on the intersection between vessel lenghth and fishing technique. The identification of indicators describing the vulnerability components (exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity) is based on characteristics of the (1) French scallop fishery in the eastern English Channel and (2) the HABs impacts in this area.

The exposure indicator is represented by the ratio of the closure duration compared to the total authorised fishing duration for each season. The sensitivity of fishermen is characterised by the dependency of fishing vessels on scallop production and on fishing areas likely to be closed during scallop toxicity periods. Adaptive capacity is defined as the strategies of fishermen to avoid the impacts of closures. It is composed of two indicators: the capacity to change fishing areas and the capacity to change target species (scallops). All the variables in this dataset are described in the dictionary of the attribute table associated to this metadata descrition.

Statement: The indicators presented in this dataset were calculated using data on sacllops fishing production and harvest closures due to scallops toxicities by HABs toxins.

Source of data:

The data used to calculate the sensitivity and adaptive capacity indicators come from the Fisheries Information System (SIH) of IFREMER, and the data used to calculate the indicator of fishing vessels exposure to the HABs risk were provided by the Fisheries Adinistration (DIRM-MEMN). The vulnerability index was then obtained using the following equation:

Vulnerability = (Sensitivity * Exposure) – Adaptation capacity. Spatial data on scallops production areas were obtained from IFRMER Port-en-Bessin.

All data processing and production of the shape files were performed using R software (version 4.1.2) and QGIS (version 3.10.10).
