Figure 4.5. Scallop dredge 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.)
