Figure 4.4. Bottom otter trawl (scallop) 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.)
