Present-day distribution of Aphrocallistes

Download Present-day distribution of Aphrocallistes - model uncertainty Data View on Map View ArcGIS Web Service Spatial predictions of habitat suitability index (HSI) to represent the present-day distribution of Aphrocallistes at the national scale. HSI was generated using ensemble habitat suitability models following procedures detailed in Brough et al., 2025. All New Zealand waters (exclusive economic zone and territorial sea) less than 2000 m in depth. Spatial predictions for present-day distributions provided in these layers provide updated predictions (i.e., using more and newer data) for several taxa that were first generated by Stephenson et al. (2023), and hosted elsewhere on the DOC marine data portal. Stephenson, F., Brough, T., Lohrer, D., Leduc, D., Geange, S., Anderson, O., Bowden, D., Clark, M. R., Davey, N., Pardo, E., Gordon, D.
