Figure 4.2. Bottom otter trawl (fish) fishing activity in the Northeast
Region during 1995-2001. (Each TMS is associated with either a high (50%
cumulative), medium (75% cumulative), low (90% cumulative), or very low
(95% cumulative) category of fishing activity level (i.e., number of
24-hr days absent from port). See the text for further explanation of
cumulative percentages, or “percentiles,” and Table 4.2 for
the ranges of fishing activity associated with each cumulative percentage
category.)
