Fig. 3: Relative abundance of Oyster within sites.
From: Indigenous oyster fisheries persisted for millennia and should inform future management
Some studies report minimum number of individuals (MNI, left panel) and others report weight (right panel). Although these are not directly comparable, both measurements provide valuable information about relative abundance. Each line represents one site. Its position on the Y-axis represents the relative proportion of oyster in the site and its length on the X-axis represents the estimated period of time that a site was occupied (X-axis). The midpoint symbol helps differentiate overlapping sites. Panel letter and color designations correspond with the map in Fig. 1. a Southeast Queensland (dark orange). b Pacific Northwest of North America (dark blue). c San Francisco Bay (pink). d New England (green). e Chesapeake Bay (light blue). f Southern Atlantic (light orange). g Peninsular Florida Gulf Coast (gray).
