Various algorithms exist for presence only data: GARP, Maxent, Bioclim
AquaMaps designed specifically to deal with the 3D aspect of the marine environment, to incorporate expert review and to be automated, so usable with all available species data
HCAF table• Environmental data per 0.5 degree latitude /
longitude square• Contents
– Bathymetry (min, mean, max)– Mean annual Temperature (surface and bottom) – Mean annual Salinity (surface and bottom)– Mean annual Primary productivity– Mean annual Sea ice concentration – Distance to land – Many others…– …including C-squares
Provides a unique spatial identification system for each half degree square allowing:• Easy database queries• Fast online map production
