Fig 6. Percent frequency of occurrence of directional shifts in distribution among taxa by life stage and regions of the Northeast U.S. Shelf Ecosystem.

Occurrence of each type of distributional shift among larvae (A) and spring- (B) and fall-collected adults (C) were grouped by taxa that occurred primarily in the Mid-Atlantic Bight to Georges Bank (MAB to GB), Southern New England to Gulf of Maine (SNE to GOM), and Georges Bank to Gulf of Maine (GB to GOM) to examine patterns in relation to regional occurrence.
