Fig 15
Schematic showing ocean conditions and v-eel distribution for (a) the positive PTO and (b) the negative PTO.
The large yellow circle represents the spawning ground. Small yellow dots represent v-eels: the number of dots indicates the proportion reaching different areas (Table 3). Red curves represent the Kuroshio. Solid blue lines show the boundary of the NEC; the dashed line marks the center of the NEC. Green arrows represent intrusion through the Luzon Strait.
