"Purpose

This evidence map summarises evidence gaps identified during the Communication of Knowledge Strength in Sea Lice Dispersal Modelling - Technical Working Group Round Table Meeting and relates to the development of models of sea lice dispersion to support aquaculture in Faroes, Norway, and Scotland.

This map is part of a wider programme of work being undertaken by the Technical Working Group encompassing a framework for describing uncertainty in modelling focusing on multiple factors including: diadromous fish distribution, abundance and behaviour (migration and growth); sea lice distribution, abundance and behaviour; physical processes, within the lense of communicating modelling uncertainty. An overview of the Technical Working Group and presentations can be found online at; https://marine.gov.scot/node/24311

This evidence map may be used across Marine Directorate, SEPA, IMR and Fiskaeling and by wider stakeholders to identify research priorities, develop project proposals, and pursue funding."
