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.

TitleApplications of Remote Sensing to Aquaculture and Inland Fisheries.
AuthorNinth UN/FAO International Training Course in Co-operation with the Government of Italy. Rome, Italy, 10-28 September 1984
Date1985
Content Language(s)English
Abstract / DescriptionThe main objective of the course was to provide educational and practical training to participants from developing countries with respect to recent operational applications of remote sensing techniques (airborne and satellite) for the rapid survey and mapping of water bodies used for fisheries and/or aquaculture, for the assessment of the development potential of inland and coastal areas for fish production, and for the selection of suitable sites for various types of aquaculture operations. The course consisted of a series of integrated lectures and workshop exercises designed to provide the participants with introductory and background information. The document provides the 30 papers presented at the course.
