Just a guess

Sometimes when data are presented in charts and graphs numbers in parenthesis will indicate the number of measurements taken (in this instance the number of soundings taken to derive the avg. depth). But I'm only guessing as far as a nautical chart goes.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
