Mapping global fisheries: Sharpening our focus
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-17, 17:05 authored by Reginald WatsonReginald Watson, Kitchingman, A, Gelchu, A, Pauly, DMapping global landings is an important prerequisite for examining causal relationships between fishing and ecological change. Landing statistics, typically provided with poor spatial precision, can be disaggregated into a grid system of spatial cells (30 min x30 min) using a rule-based approach and ancillary data about distributions of fished taxa and fishing access of reporting countries. Presentation of time series catch composition is then possible for many types of marine areas including biogeochemical provinces, large marine ecosystems and exclusive economic zones.
