Research and Application of AIS Data in Marine Fisheries
Against the backdrop of the global decline of major economic fisheries resources in the global oceans,how to protect and sustainably develop ocean fisheries resources has been highly valued by countries,regions,and organizations worldwide,and has been a hot research topic.Due to limitations of traditional marine fisheries data,it has been difficult to fully understand the catch footprint of distant fishing vessels and make effective monitoring and management.The global distant fishing vessel trajectory data provided by the automatic identification system(AIS)can be used to quantitatively analyze the behavior of individual to global fishing vessels,and the historical catch intensity spatial information uncovered can provide a good alternative data source for monitoring and management of marine fishing activities and assessment of ecological pressure,becoming a new hotspot in marine information and marine fisheries research in recent years.In order to promote the research and application of AIS data in China's marine fisheries,the research contents and application status of AIS in recent years were summarized and introduced,the shortcomings of AIS data research at present and potential research methods in the future pointed out,which provided a reference for the research and application of AIS in marine fisheries.
