Introduction

This dataset provides monthly projections of changes in the spatial and temporal distribution of ocean fronts. Ocean fronts are the interfaces between water masses, and are recognised to enhance productivity and promote the aggregation of commercial pelagic fish species and top predators, such as sharks, marine mammals, and seabirds, as prey availability increases. Moreover, primary productivity associated with oceanographic fronts strongly influence species richness in deep-sea fish communities (RD.7), as well as the functioning of deep-sea fish communities (RD.8).
