About the Database

The examples below show how various search parameters can be used.

  (Greatest depth < 0.5)
• How many species (what species) occur above the 200 m isobath (depth contour) (i.e., on the Continental Shelf)?
  (Shallowest depth < 201)
• How many (and which) of these are benthic species?
  (Shallowest depth < 201 and General habitat = BEN)
• How many species (what species) occur ONLY above the 200 m isobath?
  (Greatest depth < 201)
• How many intertidal species (what species) live throughout the continental margin (i.e., to a depth of at least 200 m)?
  (Shallowest depth = 0 and Greatest depth > 199)
• How many species (what species) are restricted in their range to the 1000 m to 2000 m depth range?
  (Shallowest depth > 999) and Greatest depth < 2001)
