30. Disaggregated global landings assembled by the FAO from 1950 to 2000 were used to determine when each 30 min by 30 min spatial cell was first "fished" [i.e., when landings of fish (other than oceanic tuna and billfishes) from that cell first reached 10% of the maximum landings ever reported from that cell]. The percentage of cells fished at each depth was then calculated.
