Selected due to high levels for the criteria 6.
Note: While these waters were selected due to their high level on standard 6, biological diversity, when the number of specimens used in ES10 (Hurlbert’s Index [ES]), the analysis method employed for standard 6, is low and matches the number of species the ES value (expected number of species) will be at its maximum, so that it is possible that it has been overvalued.
These are the waters in the vicinity of Takarajima, located in the southern part of the Tokara Islands.
