Depth – coral habitat suitability relationships.

<p>a) Predicted coral habitat suitability by depth within the New Zealand high seas bottom trawl footprint area (mean, standard deviation and range). The orange line shows the depth range (dotted line = total catch, bar = 90% of catch) over which bottom trawl catches are made; b) Relationship between the proportion of fishable depth (0 m–1600 m) and average, all-depths, predicted habitat suitability per 20-minute block in the New Zealand high-seas bottom trawl footprint. (Data from Davies &Guinotte 2011).
