Literature
        
Review of the literature is an essential starting point for any endeavour in GIS, remote sensing, or mapping. Yet, reviews are often incomplete for lack of access to the material, and consequently projects experience durations that are longer and costs that are higher than need be because the accumulated knowledge has not been tapped and taken advantage of. This page sets out to mitigate that problem. It is a gateway to the literature that represents much of the accumulated global experience on using GIS, remote sensing and mapping to solve problems and issues in aquaculture and inland fisheries. Spatial issues addressed most frequently for aquaculture and inland fisheries are listed in two tables in issues section along with the number of literature records currently contained in GISFish databases. Four recent studies available for download in issues section provide background information on GISFish databases.

TitleEnvironmental planning for clam aquaculture at the largest Bay of northwest Mexico
AuthorMalagrino, G; Lagunas-Vazquez, M; Ortega-Rubio, A
Date2007
Content Language(s)English
Abstract / DescriptionThe coastal zone of Magdalena Bay, in Baja California Sur, Mexico, was studied, using GIS and ecological planning methods, as a potential area where clam culture could be developed. As a result, 7 sites were selected for their suitability; field work was necessary to assess the precise suitability of each site. By evaluating the results of our research we could determine the optimal places to develop clam culture in the bay.
