Fig. 4: The biomass fluctuation (purple shading) of individual taxa over time.

From: Substantial loss of trawlable biomass and lack of recovery in a marine ecosystem

Fig. 4

Individual cells in the table represent a change in taxa biomass relative to their peak abundance, where a value of 1.0 which is the peak biomass is represented by dark purple, and a value of 0 representing lowest relative biomass, is white. The horizontal red line delineates the two main time periods (I and II) identified by the CONISS algorithm and represents a regime shift in the marine community in the sGSL. The header I indicates the first regime time period and II the second regime time period in the fish community. Three dashed red lines delineate subperiods (Ia, Ib, IIa, IIb and IIc) within the main time periods where the patterns of dominance in community member biomass were found to cluster.
