    <p>Alaska Department of Fish and Game trawl survey regions located within the larger study site in the western Gulf of Alaska. The total number of trawls conducted during 2003–2012 among regions was, as follows: Kodiak Island (<i>n</i> = 1836), Shelikof Strait (<i>n</i> = 278), Alaska Peninsula (<i>n</i> = 1368), and Kamishak Bay (<i>n</i> = 160).</p

    <p>J = juvenile, TR = transitional, A = adult, M = male, F = female, ALL = combined life stages, N = number of hauls, m = meters, C = Celsius. Results were calculated from NMFS–SWFSC–FED trawl and longline data (<i>R. stellulata</i>, only) collected during 2002–2005 in the greater Monterey Bay region. Oceanographic season, catches with skates (Catches) and the total number of trawl or longline catches (Hauls) are included, as well as common depth and temperature ranges, and depth and temperature at which the maximum number of occurrences was predicted. Predicted median count was used as the cut-off value to determine common ranges.</p><p>ZIP model predictions of median and maximum count, and associated depth ranges, and GAM model predictions of temperature for life stages of central California skates in Monterey Bay.</p
