Table 3
Distribution of fishing pressure and fish catches across habitat types in the study area. Data include total fishing area (% of total per habitat between brackets), low-intensity fishing area (% of total per habitat between brackets), and average fishing pressure (standard deviation between brackets) in each habitat. Data about fish catches include average and median catch rates (standard deviation between brackets) and total and relative (% of total between brackets) catches in each habitat.
