About the Database

The examples below show how various search parameters can be used.

  • How many species (what species) are strictly intertidal ?
    (Greatest depth < 0.5)
  • How many species (what species) occur above the 200 m isobath (depth contour) (i.e., on the Continental Shelf)?
    (Shallowest depth < 201)
  • How many (and which) of these are benthic species?
    (Shallowest depth < 201 and General habitat = BEN)
  • How many species (what species) occur ONLY above the 200 m isobath?
    (Greatest depth < 201)
  • How many intertidal species (what species) live throughout the continental margin (i.e., to a depth of at least 200 m)?
    (Shallowest depth = 0 and Greatest depth > 199)
  • How many species (what species) are restricted in their range to the 1000 m to 2000 m depth range?
    (Shallowest depth > 999) and Greatest depth < 2001)
  • How many species (what species) live at 3000 m and greater depth?
    (Greatest depth > 2999)
  • How many species (what species) live on the mainland coast at or below 28° N latitude?
    (NW latitude >= 28)
  • How many species (what species) live between 29° N and 28° N on the Sonoran coast (Canal del Infiernillo)?
    (NE latitude >= 28 and SE latitude <= 29)
  • How many rocky intertidal species (what species) are there in the Gulf?
    (Substrate = ROC and Shallowest depth = 0)
  • How many sandy beach, intertidal species (what species) are there in the Gulf?
    (Substrate = ARE and Shallowest depth = 0)
