[FI004005] Potential spawning areas for herring (PBS EFH)
What's in it
Essential fish habitat (EFH) map on Potential spawning areas for herring was prepared in PanBalticScope project (co-founded by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund of the European Union) http://www.panbalticscope.eu/ Herring (Clupea harengus) is widely distributed in the Baltic Sea and is common in all sub-basins. Herring feeds in the pelagic, mainly on zooplankton, and is an important prey for cod, other fish, and marine mammals. In fisheries management, herring in the Baltic Sea is sub-divided into several stocks. Herring spawns in coastal areas or offshore shallows. It has demersal eggs, which are attached to the substrate. Spawning may occur both in spring and autumn, depending on population, but spring spawning dominates today. Spawning areas of herring were identified by main habitat associations, based on existing observations of herring spawning grounds in the Baltic Sea. … Laag fi004005 (alleen als kaartbeeld, WMS).
