Figure 4
Distribution of the annual barycentre shifts over February and May between 2015 and 2020, reported per estimated fishing gear. The coloured bounding boxes depict the maximum extents of the barycentre movements. Acronyms refer to distinct fleets using purse seines (PS), pelagic pair trawls (PTM), beam trawls (TBB) or bottom otter trawls (OTB). The underlying bathymetry map belongs to a previous work43 of co-author F. Trincardi. Barycentre shift visualisation was realised with R v.4.1.2 (https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/) using the ggplot2 v.3.3.5, cowplot v.1.1.1, and raster v.3.5.2 packages.
