Fig. 4: Number of sustained fisheries (colour code) depending on the standard deviation in harvested species trophic level (x-axis) and the average harvested species trophic level (y-axis).

From: Maintaining ecological stability for sustainable economic yields of multispecies fisheries in complex food webs

Fig. 4

A Per scenario and B pooled for all scenarios. Each dot represents one food web and is characterised by the average and the standard deviation of the three target species’ trophic levels. Inlay pie charts show the fraction of runs ending with zero to three sustained fisheries. The dashed line at x = 0.5 serves as a reference and represents the maximum standard deviation of the trophic levels of the Similar scenario.
