AE&B <strong>Review</strong>: Protected species: Sea lions<br />

influenced by year, the number of days into the fishery (males leave the rookeries soon after mating<br />

whereas females remain with the pups), <strong>and</strong> time of day (Smith <strong>and</strong> Baird 2005).<br />

Figure 3.1: Distribution of trawl fishing effort <strong>and</strong> observed NZ sea lion captures, 2002-03 to 2010-11<br />

(http://data.dragonfly.co.nz/psc/). Fishing effort is mapped into 0.2-degree cells, with the colour of each cell being<br />

related to the amount of effort. Observed fishing events are indicated by black dots, <strong>and</strong> observed captures are<br />

indicated by red dots. Fishing is only shown if the effort could be assigned a latitude <strong>and</strong> longitude, <strong>and</strong> if there were<br />

three or more vessels fishing within a cell. In this case, 96.0% of the effort is shown.<br />
