Extracting spatial patterns of ocean fishery using GIS and RS―Taking the East China Sea as an example

摘要

The ocean fishery and the corresponding environment are highly interrelated according to the production experiences of ocean fishing population. The spatial cluster patterns are constructed using the remote sensed data and long-time series fishery production data under the uniform coordinate based on GIS techniques. Thus, the hidden information of distribution regularities between ocean-hydrologic factors and central fishing ground can be extracted from these patterns. It is important to forecast the ocean fishery production.
