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.

Localisation of the 39 sampled sites done during the BCD survey in April 1999.

These maps represent the monthly probability of being a seabass spawning area for each month of the spawning season (January to March), and the mean probability of being a seabass spawning area over all spawning months in the Bay of Biscay. These probability maps were calculated by performing a geostatistical analysis of fishing data from geolocated vessels, and have a spatial resolution of 3 by 3 nautical miles.

These maps represent the monthly probability of being a seabass spawning area for each month of the spawning season (January to April), and the mean probability of being a seabass spawning area over all spawning months in the English Channel - Celtic Sea. These probability maps were calculated by performing a geostatistical analysis of fishing data from geolocated vessels, and have a spatial resolution of 3 by 3 nautical miles.

Modelised abundances of several species in coastal nurseries or prediction uncertainty.

Modelised adundance of several species eggs or prediction uncertainty.

Modelised abundance of species or prediction uncertainty.

Modelised abundances of Solea solea in coastal nurseries.

Abundance of several species in coastal nurseries along french coasts.

Fish larvae were collected during the night using a MIK (Methot Isaac Kidd) net (2m diameter, 500 um mesh). Abundances were expressed in term of number of individuals per 5000 cubic meter (ind.5000m-3). For clupeidae (herring and pilchard), gobiidae and ammodytidae, abundances were log-transformed (log10(x+1)) prior to analysis whereas for pleuronectidae and syngnathidae, abundances were recoded in term of presence-absence.
