Species of large fish commonly found in depths <55 m around St. John. The 55 m cutoff was used because >70% of both the training and validation sites were shallower than this depth. The most commonly observed species were identified from surveys conducted from 2001 to 2011 around St. John [28]. These fish species may represent the species of fish detected in the SBES data.
