Schools of pollack hang in mid-water above the wreck structure, using the artificial reef as a landmark and shelter reference. These are among the largest individuals commonly encountered by divers — cold, nutrient-rich Galician waters produce slower-growing but physically larger fish than their southern counterparts.

How is this calculated?

Sighting evidence is compiled from iNaturalist observation records within a set proximity radius, filtered for quality-grade observations. “Last confirmed” is the date of the most recent research-grade record. Record count covers a rolling 24-month window. Confidence reflects record count, recency, and consistency of seasonal signal.
