Modelised abundances of Solea solea in coastal nurseries.

Modelised abundance of species or prediction uncertainty.

Polygons which delimited the geographical studied area of the CHARM I project and the CHARM II project. Polygons which delimited the geographical suggested area of the CHARM III project.

Biologic data have been expressed in abundance (numbers or density values (nbr/km²)) and always required to be log-transformed using a log10(x+1) transformation.

Temperature and salinity were measured, in situ at sea surface and at bottom during the IBTS surveys from 1980 to 2010 . Temperature and salinity were measured using CTD probe. The IBTS survey, which takes place each year in January, gives a good illustration of winter conditions.

Three environmental parameters were measured in situ during the REISE2 survey in April 1995. Temperature and salinity were measured using a probe. Fluorescence (mean for the water column) was measured using a fluorometer. This survey gives illustration of spring conditions.
