From: Evidence and patterns of tuna spawning inside a large no-take Marine Protected Area
Larval tuna distribution maps. Subpanels depict abundance for Katsuwonus pelamis (panels a–c) and Thunnus spp. (panels d–f). Panels a and d show the larval distribution in 2015, panels b and e for 2016, and panels c and f for 2017. Red circles indicate locations that plankton sampling occurred but no larvae of that taxon were collected. The size of blue circles is scaled to the abundance of larvae at that station, and purple diamonds in panels a and b correspond to an anomalously high station abundance (42.5 and 40 larvae per 10 sq. m in a and b, respectively). The boundaries of PIPA are shown in green. Bathymetric contours at 1000, 3000, and 5000 km depth are shown in light grey (accessed through GEBCO).
