AEBAR 2012: Protected species: Seabirds
Figure 5.3 (reproduced from Abraham and Thompson 2011): All observed seabird captures in trawl,
surface longline, and bottom longline fishing within the New Zealand region, between October 2008 and
September 2009. The colour within each 0.2 degree cell indicates the number of fishing events (tows and
sets, darker colours indicate more fishing) and the black dots indicate the number of observed events
(larger dots indicate more observations). The coloured symbols indicate the location of observed seabird
captures, randomly jittered by 0.2 degrees. The 500 m and 1000 m depth contours are shown.
