Fish habitat question
What are the borders and "zones" of fish habitats?

If it is implemented and working as intended (and, lets face it, just for sake of immersion), I am avoiding re-dropping (currently going after tuna) deeplines in close proximity of previous spots repeatedly.

But, as migratory as its stated fish are, and all new bits and pieces, cant really put my finger on what "zones" are, and wouldnt like to encounter depletion of habitats.

Each fish habitat has it own size and amount fish, based on the type of fish type. They migrate around the map based time during a year. These "zones" are habitats, which are "circles" of fish moving in a set pattern around the map, each fish type migrate in their own path. You're thinking right with spreading the fishing gears, that should prevent total depletion of the habitats

Thanks for answer.

Due to targeting nature of deepline and relatively small number of large fish that is present in shoal (my guess), all I needed was few good catches and few overtime losses to make me think twice not to get "one good year, one bad decade" situation, even with 12 deepline equiped ship.

One more, if I may: do overtime loss on deepline counts as dead fish (reduction of habitat) or escape?

If you dont pick it up after a while, the line will get lost (fish escape) so that will not have any impact on the habitat, as long as you dont haul it

So leaving it>hauling it in the red (probably getting no fish on the line)?
Thank you very much for your time.
