1. AREA RESTRICTIONS
Distribution:
Atlantic Ocean: in tropical and temperate waters. We follow Nakamura 1985 (Ref. 43) in recognizing
Makaira mazara
and
Makaira nigricans
as two distinct species chiefly because of differences in the pattern of the lateral line system. Many scientists, however, do not recognize this character as specifically diagnostic and consider the latter species as a single pantropical species occurring in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. Highly migratory species, Annex I of the 1982 Convention on the Law of the Sea (Ref. 26139).
FAO Areas:
Extended FAO area(s)
: 48, 58, 21
By default, the mapping algorithm extends predictions to directly adjacent FAO areas to allow for natural range boundaries defined by environmental settings rather than arbitrary management areas. You can either disable the rule or modify bounding box settings to exclude species from areas of false predicted presences identified during the expert review process.

4. MAP VIEW SETTING
Bounding Box
FAO Areas
Both (intersection)
For species occurring in one hemisphere (see point map), view map option is set to ‘Both’ even if there is incomplete or no bounding box data. The algorithm sets the southern limit in the northern hemisphere or the northern limit in the southern hemisphere to 0°.
