Each of eleven target species, all other species in aggregate, and all species combined are analysed. Statistics for the footprint and effort per 5 x 5km cell in relation to depth zones, fishable area, habitat and preferred habitat of each species are provided. The footprint for all species is estimated at 385 032 km2.
