| | | 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. | | | |

| | | Title | Detecting and Managing Coastal Fisheries and Aquaculture Gear Using Satellite Radar Imagery | | Author | Szuster, BW; Steckler, C; Kullavanijaya, B | | Date | 2008 | | Content Language(s) | English | | Abstract / Description | Fishing and shellfish aquaculture are important sources of income for
coastal communities in Thailand and other parts of tropical Asia, but
environmental impacts associated with these small-scale activities can
effect water quality, nearshore habitats, and fish populations. The
management of coastal fisheries and aquaculture has, therefore, become
a major concern for government fisheries officials who are searching
for cost effective measures to improve the regulation of these
sectors. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images from the RADARSAT-1
satellite were acquired to determine if stationary fishing and
aquaculture gears within a coastal study site in the Upper Gulf of
Thailand could be identified, and if automatic signature separation of
gear types was possible. The use of SAR imagery for a coastal
monitoring application was also evaluated and the potential of this
technology to improve resource management outcomes considered.
