The spatial distribution of fishing locations (red dots) for Pacific saury (Cololabis saira) in the western North Pacific derived from 
analyses of images from the Operational Linescan System of the U.S. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program for the period 
August-December during 2011-2013, overlain on maps of habitat suitability predicted with base models. The suitability is de- 
picted as an Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) score ranging from 0 to 1, representing “poor” to “good” habitat quality, respectively.
