Figure 4.14. Number of 10' squares (TMSs) within which any amount
of fishing activity was reported (i.e., the 100th percentile) during
1995-2001 by gear type. (Note: Important to show because the maps stop
at the 90th or 95th percentile, and do not show the full extent of fishing
activity (i.e., TMSs with just a small amount of activity, as well as
TMSs with activity that is misreported by fishermen). Key: drs = New
Bedford-style scallop dredge; gns = sink gill net; hyd = hydraulic clam
dredge; llb = bottom longline; otc = otter trawl (scallop); otf = otter
trawl (fish); ots = otter trawl (shrimp); ptc = pots & traps (crab);
ptf = pots & traps (fish); pth = pots & traps (hagfish); ptl
= pots & traps (lobster); and ptw = pots & traps (whelk).)
