This map depicts the co-occurrence of habitats for multiple water column and bottom-dwelling fish and shellfish species, as documented in Habitat Requirements for Chesapeake Bay Living Resources, Second Edition (1991). These species' habitat requirements can be affected by nutrient over-enrichment (which can impact dissolved oxygen) and sediment (which can impact light penetration).
