Annual fluctuations in the catch rates for striped, blue, and silver marlins during 2005–2016.
Table 1.
The correlation between the catch rates of three marlin species and various climate oscillations and their time delays.
Table 2.
The time lags of major climate oscillations that have the most impact on the variation in marlin catch rates, as identified by GAM analysis.
Fig 2.
Relationship between climatic oscillation variability and the catch rates for (a) striped, (b) blue, and (c) silver marlins, as identified through GAM analysis.
The y-axis represents the period from 2005 to 2016. The legend ranges from 0 (blue, lowest) to 1 (red, highest), indicating the level of interrelation.
