Sea Around Us Project - Relative demersal fish abundance inferred from commercial catch data, northwestern Australia (1997-2006)

This dataset describes the relative abundance of an assemblage of commercially exploited demersal fishes in northwestern Australia, mapped over a 30 arc-minute (0.5 degree) spatial grid. The data cover the period 1997-2006 and are derived from an analysis of commercial landings available through the Sea Around Us Project (http://www.seaaroundus.org/). Further methodological details can be found in the following peer-reviewed publication, which applies the same analysis to a suite of mobile pelagic species: Bouchet PJ, Meeuwig JJ, Huang Z, Letessier TB, Nichol SL, Caley MJ, Watson RA. 2016.

本数据集记录了澳大利亚西北部商业开发的底栖鱼类组合的相对丰度，数据以30弧分（0.5度）的空间网格进行制图。数据覆盖时段为1997年至2006年，源自对"我们身边的海洋"项目（Sea Around Us Project，http://www.seaaroundus.org/）公开的商业渔获数据的分析。进一步的方法学细节可参阅下述同行评议论文，该研究采用相同分析方法对一类远洋洄游鱼类组合开展了研究：Bouchet PJ, Meeuwig JJ, Huang Z, Letessier TB, Nichol SL, Caley MJ, Watson RA. 2016. 《基于商业捕捞记录推断的大陆尺度远洋鱼类丰度热点区域》（Continental-scale hotspots of pelagic fish abundance inferred from commercial catch records），《全球生态学与生物地理学》（Global Ecology and Biogeography）。
