Trend in sea level, CPUE, sea surface temperature, W statistic, and Shannon diversity index for commercial bony fish in the Caspian Sea for the period from 1996 to 2017. Linear relationships were fitted to the SST and Shannon diversity index, and polynomial relationships were fitted to the sea level, CPUE, and W statistic to indicate the trend.
