Fig. 1: Global distribution of studies included in quantitative meta-analyses of operational interactions between pinnipeds and fisheries (coloured points, n = 36), as well as non-standardised studies that were excluded from meta-analyses (grey triangles, n = 13).

From: The global extent and severity of operational interactions between conflicting pinnipeds and fisheries

Fig. 1

The size of the points indicates the number of fishing days in each article. The colour of the points denotes the type of operational interaction data available for each article: Light blue points = interaction data, dark blue = catch loss data, purple points = both, and grey triangles indicate non-standardised data that were excluded from meta-analyses. Illustrative species examples are, from left to right, the Californian sea lion (Zalophus californianus), South American fur seal (Arctocephalus australis), harbour seal (Phoca vitulina - north), South American sea lion (Otaria flavescens - south), grey seal (Halichoerus grypus - north), Brown fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus pusillus - south), Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus), Caspian seal (Pusa caspica), Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella), and the Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus).
