FIGURE 3.

Predicted distribution of predominant assemblage types of bottom‐associated fish and benthic invertebrates in each of four regions of the Northwest Atlantic: NGSL, SGSL, NL, and MAR (see Figure 1 caption for regional abbreviations). Color denotes the expected assemblage type in a given 4‐km grid cell based on relationships with environmental correlates delineated by random forest classification (BoF, Bay of Fundy; ESS, Eastern Scotian Shelf; WSS, Western Scotian Shelf). Grid cells outlined in black indicate greater uncertainty in the model prediction (probability of assignment <0.70)
