Raster stack version 2 from Sea Around Us Project at UBC (Cheung, Lam et al; in draft) of maximum catch potential

Global half-degree raster of high seas. Maximum catch potential (MCP; landings in metric tons) of more than 1,000 fish and invertebrates species for mcp_2004 (average 1995 to 2014) and mcp_2050 (average 2041 to 2060 under 'business as usual' climate change scenario GFDL 8.5).

Version 2: This pattern along Southeast Pacific in the original version is due to the exceptional high catch potential of Chilean jack mackerel in the upwelling region. Indeed, most of our maps have to adjust by removing this species. Otherwise, the high MCP in this region will mask the MCP of all other areas. I have re-extracted the data for you by removing the MCP of this species. -- Vicky Lam
