Figure 6: Variability of the period of reproduction identified based on the peak of the loading factor (Figure 4). For sole, we consider the maximum of PC2 (second dimension of the EOF). For hake, we consider the minimum of PC1 (first dimension of the EOF). For sea bass, we consider the maximum of PC1 (first dimension of the EOF). The gray dots are the months for which the average temperature is within the optimal range of temperature for reproduction.
