Simulated spatial distribution of annual fish species catch by simulated commercial fishing vessels

Spatial distribution of simulated catch in number of fish by each fleet (handline and longline simulated vessels) each year of the nineteen-year simulation. Eight Gulf reef fish are represented. This dataset is one of a suite of eight for which statistical methods and machine learning algorithms were used to simulate various measures of fish population health, including abundance surveys, mortality estimates, and fisheries catch and effort reports.
