| Abstract |
Fishery research is the study of the biology, environment, abundance, availability and exploitation of fish or other aquatic organisms for the purpose of facilitating their utilization by mankind. Efficiently to exploit such resources it is necessary to assess their abundance prior to exploitation, to monitor exploited resources by predicting changes in their abundance and distribution, and to provide management information such as weather and fishing conditions, and vessel activities and position, to industry and government. A discussion of conventional approaches (non- remote sensing) utilized to attain the objectives of fishery research is given. It is concluded that such conventional approaches do not provide all the necessary information to attain the goals of fishery management. In many instances expanded data systems which provide coverage on a synoptic as well as on a real-time basis are needed. Remote sensing techniques appear to provide a potential in this regard and their current and future use in fishery research is discussed. Particular attention is called to the problems of sampling and data storage, retrieval and reduction. |
