AquaMaps are computer-generated predictions of natural occurrence of marine species, based on the environmental tolerance of a given species with respect to depth, salinity, temperature, primary productivity, and its association with sea ice or coastal areas. These 'environmental envelopes' are matched against an authority file which contains respective information for the Oceans of the World. Independent knowledge such as distribution by FAO areas or bounding boxes are used to avoid mapping species in areas that contain suitable habitat, but are not occupied by the species. Maps show the color-coded likelihood of a species to occur in a half-degree cell, with about 50 km side length near the equator. Experts are able to review, modify and approve maps.
Environmental envelopes are created in part (FAO areas, bounding boxes, depth ranges) from respective information in species databases such as FishBase and in part from occurrence records available from OBIS or GBIF. AquaMaps predictions have been validated successfully for a number of species using independent data sets and the model was shown to perform equally well or better than other standard species distribution models, when faced with the currently existing suboptimal input data sets (Ready et al. 2010).
The creation of AquaMaps is supported by the following projects: MARA, Pew Fellows Program in Marine Conservation, INCOFISH, Sea Around Us, and Biogeoinformatics of Hexacorals.

Using Full or Large Sets of AquaMaps Data
We encourage partnering with the AquaMaps team for larger research projects or publications that would make intensive use of AquaMaps to ensure that you have access to the latest version and/or reviewed maps, the limitations of the data set are clearly understood and addressed, and that critical maps and/or unlikely results are recognized as such and double-checked for correctness prior to drawing conclusions and/or subsequent publication.
The AquaMaps team can be contacted through Rainer Froese (rfroese@geomar.de) or Kristin Kaschner (Kristin.Kaschner@biologie.uni-freiburg.de).
Privacy Policy
AquaMaps uses log data generate usage statistics. Like most websites, AquMaps gathers information about internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser, referring pages, operating system, date/time, clicks, and visited pages, and store it in log files. This information is used to find errors in our website, analyze trends, and determine country of origin of our users. The log files are stored indefinitely. Only the administrators of the AquaMaps server has direct access to the log files. The information is used to inform further development of AquaMaps. Usage statistics may be shared with third parties for non-commercial purposes.
Disclaimer
AquaMaps generates standardized computer-generated and fairly reliable large scale predictions of marine and freshwater species. Although the AquaMaps team and their collaborators have obtained data from sources believed to be reliable and have made every reasonable effort to ensure its accuracy, many maps have not yet been verified by experts and we strongly suggest you verify species occurrences with independent sources before usage. We will not be held responsible for any consequence from the use or misuse of these data and/or maps by any organization or individual.

AquaMaps为海洋物种自然分布的计算机生成预测,基于特定物种对深度、盐度、温度、初级生产力和与其关联的海洋冰层或沿海地区的环境耐受性。这些‘环境包络’与包含世界各大洋相应信息的权威文件进行匹配。通过FAO区域或边界框等独立知识,如分布,用于避免将物种映射到具有适宜栖息地但未被该物种占据的区域。地图以颜色编码显示物种在半度单元格中出现的可能性,在赤道附近,单元格的边长约为50公里。专家能够审查、修改和批准地图。
环境包络部分基于物种数据库(如FishBase)中的相关信息(FAO区域、边界框、深度范围)以及来自OBIS或GBIF的现况记录创建。AquaMaps预测已成功验证了多种物种的独立数据集,并显示该模型在面对目前存在的次优输入数据集时,其性能与标准物种分布模型相当或更优(Ready等人,2010年)。
AquaMaps的创建得到了以下项目的支持:MARA、Pew海洋保护学者项目、INCOFISH、Sea Around Us和六射珊瑚生物地理信息学。
