The UK_ICES_fish_stock_and_shellfish_stock_assessment_data_2017.csv is modified from the ICES stock assessment database. Appended to this is the UK national shellfish stocks data, which were taken from assessment reports provided by Cefas and Marine Scotland. In the dataset, the first column “ICES” identifies those stocks that originate from the ICES stock assessment database with the entry “Y”. The SPiCT_Stock data2_281117.csv contains ICES stock assessment model outputs. SPiCT refers to 'Stochastic Production model in Continuous Time', the model used to produce outputs for data limited stocks. These data were not released online by ICES when this data were collated (12/09/2017), but instead downloaded directly by `www.stockassessment.org`_ (Casper Berg, DTU-Aqua) to Cefas on 08 June 2016. The ICES_fish_stock_and_shellfish_stock_assessment_data_2017_column_descriptions.txt file contains column header descriptions.
