The data collected includes biometrics (mass (g), total length (cm), fulton’s condition index (FCI), hepatosomatic index (HSI)), stomach contents, fatty acids and lipids (%) of flesh for mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and whiting (Merlangius merlangus) collected near and away from two fish farms on the West coast of Scotland. The two fish farms were found in Loch Melfort and Loch Leven. The data was collected in 2014 at two fish farms and reference cites in Loch Melfort and Loch Leven. In Loch Melfort the fish that was farmed was halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus) and in Loch Leven the fish that was farmed was Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). All samples for fatty acids and lipids were run in duplicates. 1 excel spreadsheet with biometrics (mass (g), total length (cm), fulton’s condition index (FCI), hepatosomatic index (HSI)), stomach contents, fatty acids and lipids (%) of flesh for mackerel (Scomber scombrus) and whiting (Merlangius merlangus) collected near and away from two fish farms on the West coast of Scotland.
