Biodiversity
Mapping
Electronic
maps with
predicted
species
distribution
•Standardized electronic maps with predicted
distribution for all coastal zone species relevant
to INCOFISH.
.
•Maps with predicted distribution before and
after a certain point in time.
•Maps with predicted seasonal distribution.
•Dynamic maps where species distribution is
predicted from the occurrence of the respective
niche in space and time as predicted by
physical models of the oceans.

The Fish-Ruler – A Success Story for Germany
The currently available fish ruler indicates the length at which 90-100 % of
individuals of a given species are reproductively mature. It shows also length of
individuals without head and length of entire filets. The
fish ruler- called “Fisch-O-Meter” - is being produced and distributed by the
German consumer protection association in cooperation with the Lighthouse
Foundation.
