Descriptive statistics, depth range, and mesoscale habitat electivity for central California skates as calculated from manned submersible data in the greater Monterey Bay region.

n = sample size, %FO = frequency of occurrence, km = kilometers, m = meters. * = p<0.05 for Chi-square test. Number (n), frequency of occurrence (%FO), density (#/km2), depth range and mesoscale habitat electivity (after Manly et al. 1993) of the California skate assemblage among 1203 submersible dive transects conducted at depths of 24–316 m. Descriptive statistics, depth range, and mesoscale habitat electivity for central California skates as calculated from manned submersible data in the greater Monterey Bay region.
