| Abstract | Satellite based sea surface temperature (SST) images are being used as an input for locating potential zones of productivity and hence fish availability for commercial fishing operations since last three decades (Breaker, 1987). With the availability of chlorophyll images the relationship and the potential zones of productivity could be more easily predicted (Armone, 1987; Solanki at al., 2003). Potential Fishing Zone (PFZ) forecasts were started in India during 1989-90 using NOAA-AVHHR derived sea surface temperature data (Solanki et at., 1998). First attempt to correlate the fish catch with temperature along the Indian waters was by (Nath at al., 1991). An integrated approach for fishery resource exploration using the SST data from NOAA-AVHHR and chlorophyll data from SeaWiFS was perfected by Solanki et at. (2001a). With the launch of the Indian remote sensing satellite (IRS P4), the data on the chlorophyll was available from 0CM and hence synergistic analysis of temperature and the ocean colour was made possible using Indian satellites along for fishery forecasts (Solanki et at., 2001b). |
