Abstract
3-D habitat suitability maps (HSM) or probability of occurrence maps, built using Shape-Constrained Generalized Additive Models (SC-GAMs) for the 30 main commercial species of the Atlantic region.Predictor variables for each species were selected from: sea water temperature, salinity, nitrate, net primary productivity, distance to seafloor, distance to coast, and relative position to mixed layer depth. Each species HSM contains 47 maps, one per depth level from 0 to 1000 m. Probability values of each map range from 0 (unsuitable habitat) to 1 (optimal habitat). For depth levels below the 0.99 quantile of the depth values found on the species occurrence data, NA values were assigned. Maps have been masked to species native range regions. See Valle et al. (2024) in Ecological Modelling 490:110632 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2024.110632), for more details.

Data Quality
The 3D habitat suitability maps have been generated using data from the following sources: OBIS and GBIF for commercial fish species occurrences data; the World Ocean Atlas 2018 for the temperature, salinity and nitrate, as well as the mixed layer depth data; Copernicus GLOBAL_MULTIYEAR_BGC_001_029 product for net primary productivity, NOAA ETOPO1 Global Relief Model for the seabed bathymetry and NASA Ocean Color for the distance to the coast.
