Data

The raw data used in this analysis comes from different sources including OBIS, GBIF, The Sea Around Us, and FishBase, among others. These can be sourced directly from their respectively webpages and/or the references provided on the text. The data containing the identification of transboundary species per eez and fishing nation (e.g. the main result of this work) and the catch trend of each taxon per eez can be found in the Data folder.
