Tests of independence between Sea Around Us annual fisheries landings data (used as a proxy for biomass in this study) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) annual fisheries landings data.

<p>For each region (i.e., Alaska, northern California, Pacific Northwest, Gulf of Maine, northern Gulf of Mexico), t and p-values (t-test), D and p-value (Komolgorov-Smirnov test; K-S test), and Pearson correlation coefficients (Coeff) and p-values (time series cross-comparisons) are provided for each analysis. For Alaska, data were compared at the statewide scale due to reporting of NOAA landings at the statewide level.</p> <p>(DOCX)</p>
