Advances in Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing for Fisheries and Aquaculture
Author: Geoffery J. MeadenPublisher: Food & Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO)
ISBN:
Category : Aquaculture
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
The publication is an easy-to-understand publication that emphasizes the fundamental skills and processes associated with geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. The first chapter initially puts the array of spatially related problems into perspective and discusses the earlier applications of GIS and remote sensing. Chapters, 2, 3 and 4 outline what are considered to be the basics on which GIS can function, i.e. hardware and software; spatial data; and how GIS systems themselves are best implemented. Chapter 5 looks at preparing the data for GIS use and Chapter 6 explores what remote sensing consists of and the main purposes for its use. Chapter 7 discusses the functional tools and techniques offered by typical GIS software packages. Chapters 8, 9 and 10 examine respectively, the current issues and status, including extensive case studies, of the application of GIS and remote sensing to aquaculture, to inland fisheries and to marine fisheries.
Review of Strategies for Recovering Tributary Habitat

Book Description
Whether tributary habitat improvements have achieved, or are likely to achieve, the goal of recovering conditions favoring the production of salmonids in the Columbia River Basin is unclear. This report reviews the approaches, assessment procedures, and implementation strategies for habit improvement. It examines topics central to the recovery of tributary habitat: (1) the biological objectives related to habitat recovery; (2) the strategies for implementing restoration; (3) the incentives for implementing restoration; (4) the scientific foundation for habitat recovery; and (5) monitoring and evaluation. This review answers the question: What concepts and strategies should be incorporated in habitat recovery actions to improve their chances for success? Illus.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
Hyperspectral remote sensing has been increasingly used in studding and assessing biophysical and biochemical properties of agricultural crops. This volume demonstrates the experience and the methods used in studying terrestrial vegetation using hyperspectral data. It focuses on specific applications, reviews existing “state-of-art” knowledge, highlights the advances made, and provides guidance for appropriate use of hyperspectral data in applications such as crop yield modeling, crop biophysical and biochemical property characterization, and crop moisture assessment. Includes extensive discussions on data processing and how to implement data processing mechanisms.
