For each component we present the effect of including the term for distance to seamount on the AIC (ΔAIC), the parameter estimate for the relationship with log(distance to seamount), and whether the effect represents a significantly higher or lower catch rate close to seamounts (SM). Only those taxa with statistically significant trends are shown here. The complete table is shown in Table S2.
