File List OceanLMEdata.csv Description OceanLMEdata.csv contains all data from Large Marine Ecosystems used to create graphs in Figs. 8 and 10. 56 LMEs of the total of 64 are used in the figure. The 8 excluded LMEs are inland seas or extreme high latitude areas that little catch data. Data sources are: Fisher, J. A. D., K. T. Frank, and W. C. Leggett. 2010. Global variation in marine fish body size and its role in biodiversity–ecosystem functioning. Marine Ecology Progress Series 405:1–13. Sherman, K., I. Belkin, K. D. Friedland, J. O’Reilly, and K.

Currently listed catch and other data values may vary slightly as they are updated and corrected. Methods for NPP Estimates for LMEs (From the Sea Around Us website (www.searoundus.org/primaryproduction/interpolation_method.htm?Button2=Method) “The PP estimates presented here are based on a model described by Platt and Sathyendranath (1988), whose parameterization varies between biomes and biogeochemical provinces (Longhurst et al. 1995, Hoepffner et al. 1999). The model estimates depth integrated PP based on chlorophyll pigment concentration as derived from SeaWiFS (http://seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEAWIFS.html) data, and photosynthetically active radiation calculated as in Bouvet et al. (2002). The PP estimates were processed at the Inland and Marine Waters Unit (IMW), Institute for Environment & Sustainability, EU Joint Research Center (JRC), Ispra, Italy, under the responsibility of Nicolas Hoepffner ([e-mail]) and Frédéric Mélin ([e-mail]), and made available on a monthly basis from October 1997 with a spatial resolution of 9 km. “ References for LME NPP Calculations: Platt, T., and S.
