Fig. 2: Percentage of fishing operations in which elasmobranch species have been recorded in partially protected areas (PPAs) and in unprotected areas (UPAs).

‘N’ indicates the overall number of individuals caught for each species. The species in bold were caught (as NCPUE) mostly in PPAs. The barplots show BCPUE (bottom-left) and NCPUE (bottom-right) (mean ± se) in PPAs and in UPAs. CR Critically Endangered, EN Endangered, VU Vulnerable, NT Near Threatened, LC Least Concern, DD Data Deficient. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
