How to Access the Zooplankton Map Layer
In the menu on the left, you can now find settings for the zooplankton map layer. The map layer is currently only available over the European shelf. This feature allows you to view current zooplankton concentrations, which is a key indicator of where herring and mackerel are likely to be found. Knowing where these feeding grounds are can help you plan more effective fishing trips.
The map uses color to represent different levels of zooplankton concentration, making it easy to visualize where the highest concentrations are. This can guide you to the best fishing spots for herring and mackerel. You can also avoid areas with high concentrations if you wish to avoid cleaning the nets often.
