New Methods for Detection of Fish Populations or Mapping of Fish Habitat

Abstract

The overall objective of this work is to develop and test a new technique to detect and map epipelagic fishes and their habitat in the EEZ of Oregon and Washington. The technique combines data from satellites, aircraft, ships, and moorings. Each platform covers a unique set of spatial and temporal scales, and each instrument has its own advantages and disadvantages. A technique combining data from multiple platforms can be much more powerful than any one alone. The secondary objective is the analyze the array of spatial data collected to better understand the connection and affects of habitat and fish behavior on fish detection and distribution.
