Mediterranean Sea, 5. Cold Temperate Northwest Atlantic, 6. Warm Temperate Northwest Atlantic, 8. Cold Temperate Northwest Pacific, 9. Warm Temperate Northwest Pacific, 10. Cold Temperate Northeast Pacific, 11. Warm Temperate Northeast Pacific, 12. Tropical Northwestern Atlantic, 13. North Brazil Shelf, 14. Tropical Southwestern Atlantic, 16. West African Transition, 17. Gulf of Guinea, 18. Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, 19. Somali/Arabian, 20. Western Indian Ocean, 22. Central Indian Ocean Islands, 24. Andaman, 25. South China Sea, 26.
