Figure 4.3. Bottom otter trawl (shrimp) fishing activity in the Northeast
Region during 1995-2001. (Each TMS is associated with either a high
(50% cumulative), medium (75% cumulative), or low (90% 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.)
