Graph of the Day: Biomass Distributions for N. Atlantic Fish, 1900-2000
The Sea Around Us Project investigates the impact of fisheries on the world’s marine ecosystems. This is achieved by using a Geographic Information System (GIS) to map global fisheries catches from 1950 to the present, under explicit consideration of major critical habitats of fish, marine invertebrates, marine mammals and other components of marine biodiversity.
