1st study:

composition of the Baltic fish community
Laurne Pcuchet, Martin Lindegren and Anna Trnroos

Trait-based approach
laupe@aqua.dtu.dk
Studied area bottom salinity contour (PSU) from CTD data, and representations of
the ICES squares in the Baltic Sea
laupe@aqua.dtu.dk
For each haul, the species are sorted and counted (CPUE/h) by length class
From this dataset we derived the occurence and mean CPUE of Species per ICES square for the
period
2003-2014
