As previously announced the Sustainability in Aquaculture API is now removed.

FishInfo API:

• Added endpoint /v1/geodata/npdsurveyfisheryexperts/{id}, which returns a list of experts per survey
• Deprecated endpoint /v1/geodata/npdsurveyfisheryexpert/{id}, which returns only a single expert per survey

See API documentation for details: https://www.barentswatch.no/bwapi/openapi/index.html?urls.primaryName=FishInfo+API#/NpdSurvey

To accomodate for changes in the disease data sent by aquaculture sites, the Fishhealth API has some updates.

In addition to Pancreas disease (PD) and Infectious salmon anemia (ISA), the API is now providing data about several other types of disease via new endpoints.

The outdated endpoints have now been marked as obsolete in the Fishhealth API, and will be removed after 25th of May 2025.

The Sustainability in Aquaculture API will be removed after 7th of April 2025.

The endpoints have now been marked as obsolete: https://www.barentswatch.no/bwapi/openapi/index.html?urls.primaryName=Sustainability+In+Aquaculture+API

To accomodate for changes in the licereport sent by aquaculture sites weekly, the Fishhealth API will soon have some changes.

Changes in brief​

• A report can now have several Non-medicinal treatments (previously called mechanical removal). These treatments have a specified type.
• Medicinal treatments (previously called treatments) have an updated data model:
  • They no longer have start- and enddates, they are tied to the reporting week.
  • They have a new optional field NumberOfCages
  • In addition to infeed and bath, 'other' is now an option
• Combination treatments is added. They consist of a combination of medicinal treatments and/or non-medicinal treatments.

The new data model will soon be in production, but with no data for the new fields. Later on, new licereports will switch to v2 format.

Affected endpoints​

• GET /v1/geodata/fishhealth/locality/{localityId}/{year}/{week}
  • The new version property has value 1 for exisiting data. New reports on the new format will have version 2.
  • Version 2 may have data for combinationTreatments, medicinalTreatments, nonMedicinalTreatments, but never for mechanicalRemoval and treatments.
  • Version 1 may have data for mechanical removal and treatments, but never for combinationtreatments, medicianalTreatments and nonMedicinalTreatments.

Removal of WMS map layers

The following map layers will be removed from the BarentWatch WMS after the 25th of May 2024.

Fish Health API:

The regulation defining "ILA free areas" was repealed in 2022, and we are missing most historical data. Due to this, we are removing:

• ...the following endpoints from our API:
  • v1/geodata/fishhealth/ilafreeareas/{year}/{week}
  • v1/geodata/fishhealth/ilafreearea/{year}/{week}/{areaId}
  • v1/geodata/fishhealth/ilafreearea/{year}/{week}/{areaId}/{version}
• ...the ILAFreeAreas property from the response of this endpoint:
  • v1/geodata/fishhealth/locality/{localityId}/{year}/{week}
• ...the ilafreearea_wms layer from our WMS service: https://geoserver.barentswatch.no/geoserver/

Fish Health API:

• Added endpoint /v1/geodata/fishhealth/locality/{localityno}/vessel/{year} .
  • Returns the same type of data as /v1/geodata/fishhealth/locality/{localityno}/vessel/{year}/{week} , but as a list of results, one for each week of the year.

See API documentation for details: https://www.barentswatch.no/bwapi/openapi/index.html?urls.primaryName=Fishhealth%20API#/VesselTrackWeek/get_v1_geodata_fishhealth_locality__localityno__vessel__year_

New AIS endpoint to search for vessels by name:

• https://historic.ais.barentswatch.no/v2/historic/search
