Catch composition of the Ecuadorian artisanal fishery for large pelagics.

<p>The information is presented by landing port and type of fishing gear (longline for dolphinfish (LL-DOL), longline for tuna-billfish-sharks (LL-TBS), and surface gillnets (GN)). The species codes can be found on <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0135136#pone.0135136.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>. Catch is an underestimate of the fleet total; see text for details. Pie chart size has been scaled by gear, within each port, and therefore pie chart sizes cannot be compared across ports.
