Redundancy Analysis Plot of Year and CPUE per Functional Group.

<p>Redundancy analysis shows the functional groups (green text and vectors) most associated with the programmatic changes in the SEAMAP program according to the year-pattern (red text and vectors). The year-pattern refers to the geographical locations described as points in the operating model. Approximately 25% of the variability in functional group abundances is explained by the sampling year-pattern in two canonical axes. In general post-2009 changes have benefited only a few species, in particular Atlantic Croaker.
