Converted to California Teale Albers NAD 83 by the California Department of Fish and Game, Marine GIS --BEGIN ORIGINAL METADATA - THIS INFORMATIO MAY NOT BE CURRENT-- California Department of Fish and Game Marine Region GIS Metadata Shapefile Name: blkyl-rf-adfl.shp Metadata File: blkyl-rf-adfl.txt Metadata Date: April 19, 2001 Shapefile Description This shapefile contains the entire distribution for adults. The process of creating this shapefile included creating contour lines, in 5 meter intervals, from bathymetry lines. Depth ranges were taken from four references (see below). After the broadest depth range was determined for this species, they were rounded to the nearest 5 meter interval. The deepest and shallowest shapefile lines were connected by a line at the northern end and southern end (determined by their geographical extent from north to south). This shapefile was then converted to polygon. The goal of this shapefile was to provide a range in which this species could occur, given that their habitat is present.
