Biomass distribution of Maurolicus muelleri from SEAPODYM model

The map of biomass estimate of Maurolicus muelleri was created using the output of the SEAPODYM model (Lehodey et al., 2015). SEAPODYM-LMTL is a pseudo 3D dynamical model that model populations of micronekton according to their dial vertical migration (Lehodey et al. 2010, Lehodey et al. 2015, Conchon 2016). Maurolicus muelleri is a migrant species, mostly found on the shelf and was modelled with the group D2N1. This mechanistic model estimates fish biomass as a function of environmental conditions and demographic processes. The map is a yearly average of the distribution of biomass, please note the distribution of biomass varies in time.
