Description GIS in marine fisheries has taken off much later than its application in
land. But the strides made in this field since 1990's has been quite significant,
as many serious mapping studies and modeling initiatives have been recorded.
With the third dimension added to the 2D spatial data, the marine GIS have all
the ingredients of making it a fertile domain for research for decades to come.
Most of the studies and products pertaining to GIS in fishery management had
been revolving around mapping of habitats, geo-referencing of catch and effort
data and modeling linking oceanographic and biogeochemical factors with living
resources. Satellite remotely sensed information like ocean colour can act as a
surrogate to fish biomass. Further remotely sensed SST, wind and other
parameters can be effectively modeled to predict fish abundance, their habitat
and related aspects. This manuscript pours into the various products and
outputs based on GIS in marine fisheries around the world and the Indian
initiatives.
