Figure 3a. Comparison of NE multispecies (large mesh) discards (pounds) and trip duration (days) from 2004 observed otter trawl trips, by region and mesh size group (sm <5.5 in; lg => 5.5 in); fourth root transformation used, each dot represents a trip. Trips with zero discards of NE multispecies (large mesh) are excluded.
Figure 3b. Comparison of NE multispecies (large mesh) discards (pounds) and kept weight of all species (pounds) from 2004 observed otter trawl trips by region and mesh size group (sm < 5.5 in; lg => 5.5 in); fourth root transformation used, each dot represents a trip. Trips with zero discards of NE multispecies (large mesh) are excluded.
Figure 3c. Comparison of NE multispecies (large mesh) discards (pounds) and trip duration (days) from 2004 observed gillnet trips by region and mesh size group (lg = 5.5 to 7.99 in; sm < 5.5 in; xlg > 8 in); fourth root transformation used, each dot represents a trip. Trips with zero discards of NE multispecies (large mesh) are excluded.
Figure 3d. Comparison of NE multispecies (large mesh) discards (pounds) and kept weight of all species (pounds) from 2004 observed gillnet trips by region and mesh size group (lg = 5.5 to 7.99 in; sm < 5.5 in; xlg > 8 in); fourth root transformation used, each dot represents a trip. Trips with zero discards of NE multispecies (large mesh) are excluded.
