Figures & data
Figure 1 Map of North Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) management areas within Baffin Bay and Davis Strait. Data used for analysis were collected from 0A, 1A, 0B, 1C, and 1D between 2000 and 2004. Of the current flows through NAFO management areas within Baffin Bay and Davis Strait, dashed arrows represent warmer waters of the West Greenland Current, solid arrows indicate colder waters of the Polar Current, and dotted arrows represent the moderate Labrador Current.
