Bottom temperatures in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and preferred temperature ranges for three demersal fish species.

<p><b>(A)</b> Baseline (2010–2019) and projected (2090–99, under SSP2-45, SSP5-85) bottom temperature range across the Gulf of. St. Lawrence. Boxplots: upper and lower hinges correspond to the first and third quartiles; upper/lower whiskers extend to the highest/lowest value within 1.5 times the interquartile range; horizontal lines within boxes correspond to the median; diamonds represent the mean; outlier dots represent data beyond the end of the whiskers. <b>(B)</b> Preferred temperature ranges for spawning and non-spawning adults of redfish (RH; <i>Sebastes mentella</i>, <i>Sebastes fasciatus</i>), Greenland halibut (GH; <i>Reinhardtius hippoglossoides</i>), and Atlantic halibut (AH; <i>Hippoglossus hippoglossus</i>). Analysis for changes for 2050–59 are in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0316754#pone.0316754.g002" target="_blank">Fig 2</a>.</p> <p>(PDF)</p>
