Liver Neoplasm Trends in UK Flatfish, 2004-2015

These data contain results from histological analysis of liver neoplasms in flatfish from UK waters collected between 2004 and 2015. The dataset likely includes individual fish measurements such as length, weight, sex, and age alongside the lesion analysis results. It is provided by the Government Digital Service via the EU Open Data platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in liver lesion prevalence based on the 2004-2015 collection period
• Correlate neoplasm occurrence with fish biometrics like length, weight, sex, and age
• Assess spatial patterns of fish health indicators within UK waters
• Model environmental risk factors for liver disease in flatfish populations

Strengths

• Data spans a 12-year monitoring period from 2004 to 2015
• Includes multiple biological variables per individual: histological results, length, weight, sex, and age
• Sourced from an official government entity, the Government Digital Service

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified
