| Lineage | The dataset was made using two published papers entitled: A. Arkhipkin, P. Brickle, V. Laptikhovsky and A. Winter, Dining hall at sea - feeding migrations of necktonic predators, Journal of Fish Biology (2012) 81, 882??"902 and A. Arkhipkin, P. Brickle, V. Laptikhovsky, J. Pompert and A. Winter, Skate assemblage on the eastern patagonian shelf and slope structure, diversity and abundance, Journal of Fish Biology (2012) 80, 1704-1726. The data had been already plotted and were extracted from the software manifold and given as point features. The first task was to convert the points into polygon shape files. The coordinate system used is LAT LONG. The second step was to merge all the files together and make a single file called seazones. The seazones are classified as habitat zones within Falkland Islands waters: inner shelf (IS), north-western outer shelf (NWOS), south-eastern outer shelf (SEOS), northern (NS) and southern (SS) slopes and deepwater slope (DS). |
