Fish habitat modelling in the Baltic Sea archipelago region. BALANCE Interim report 11. Available at http://www.balance-eu.org/. Abstract: Young fishes are often dependent on certain habitats for their survival, and protecting these habitats may be crucial for maintaining strong adult stocks. An important step in providing sufficient protection for such essential fish habitats is reliable large-scale habitat mapping. One promising approach is that of spatial predicitive modelling, where statistical models relating species occurrence to environmental variables are coupled to geographic information systems (GIS). This approach was used for mapping spawning and nursery areas of a number of common coastal fishes in the large, complex, Swedish-Finnish archipelago area in the Northern Baltic Sea. Generalized additive models (GAM) were fitted to describe the relationship between fish occurrence and habitat variables. The resulting probability maps were subsequently transformed into categorical presence/absence maps. We show that using only a few environmental predictors, the main patterns of occurrence can be mapped. The maps produced in this study can be directly used in spatial planning within the area, and also will constitute the basis for analyses of the ecological connectivity of the Natura 2000-network within BALANCE.<BR /><BR /> </FONT> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <A name="Top" /> <H4>ISO and ESRI Metadata:</H4> <UL> <LI><A HREF="#Metadata_Information">Metadata Information</A></LI> <LI><A HREF="#291775328"> Resource Identification Information </A></LI> <LI><A HREF="#331650976"> Spatial Representation Information </A></LI> <LI><A HREF="#291777312"> Reference System Information </A></LI> <LI><A HREF="#291781888"> Distribution Information </A></LI> <LI><A HREF="#Geoprocessing">Geoprocessing History</A></LI> <LI><A HREF="#Binary_Enclosures">Binary Enclosures</A></LI> </UL> <BLOCKQUOTE><FONT SIZE="1"> Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the International Organization for Standardization's (ISO) document 19115 <I>Geographic Information - Metadata.</I> Elements shown with <FONT color="#006400">green</FONT> text are defined by ESRI and will be documented as extentions to the ISO 19115.
