Rapid Global Expansion of Invertebrate Fisheries: Trends, Drivers, and Ecosystem Effects
Figure 2
Expansion of invertebrate catch since the 1950s across taxa.
(A) crustaceans, (B) bivalves and gastropods, (C) cephalopods, and (D) echinoderms. Upper lines indicate total catch for each group and underlying lines indicate catch for subgroups. Dark lines represent smooth estimates obtained from a loess smoother (smoothing span 50% of the data). Light lines indicate the unfiltered catch trends.
