Figure 5
Response plots for abiotic variables on the density of sailfish, blue marlin, white marlin, and swordfish larvae from final generalized additive models (GAMs).
Plot includes distance to Loop Current (top), sea surface current velocity (middle) and depth (bottom). Solid lines denote smoothed values and shaded areas on each plot represent 95% confidence intervals. Dashed line at y = 0 displayed on each plot.
