This is a monthly data with a spatial resolution of 0.05 degree. The spatial coverage is 20S to 55N, 120E to 100W, from 1998-01 to 2024-12. Reference: Barnes, C., Irigoien, X., De Oliveira, J.

The estimated median phytoplankton size is found to be an effective predictor for the bigeye recruitment of the Hawaii's longline fishery (Woodworth-Jefcoats, and Wren, 2020).
