oceanic species

oceanic species
species distributed and caught mainly beyond the shelf and/or which migrate extensively across the open ocean. They may have a key stage of their life cycle close inshore and yield large catches in coastal waters. These resources are essentially pelagic for most of their life cycle but some demersal oceanic resources exist on sea-mounts
