GRASS, SST, Fisheries & GIS.

*********************************************************************

I hereby forward a list of references provided by our FE-colleagues and thank them for the information.

There seems to be a relatively wide interest in the GRASS package. Further information, questions and discussion on the Fisheries & GIS, geostatistical approaches, spatial stats and related issues would be most interesting.

Cheers,

Summary follows:

Dear Aldo-Pier Solari:

We have been working with remote sensing through a NASA contract to bring space-based technology to the commercial and sport fishing industry. We have developed a ship-based low resolution weather and sea surface temperature system for Landsat and Meteor satellites and are currently working on a high resolution system using AVHRR. We have a home page at http://www.ocens.com where you can get more information and view a demo of the imaging software.

Attached is a download from our Space Library on AVHRR and sea surface temperature. Some of the references may not be relevant to your topic but I thought I would give you all we had on the topic. The file is a text-only with line breaks created in Microsoft Word. Let me know if you have any trouble downloading it.

Sincerely yours,

Jeffrey June--Natural Resources Consultants, Inc. & OCENS

Aldo-Pier,

Morgan Busby forwarded your information request to me. I recommend that you contact Dr. Paul Fiedler at NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, CA. Paul works in this field and should be able to help you. There is also remote sensing research being conducted at the Southeast Fisheries Science Center laboratory in Beaufort, North Carolina. I cannot remember the scientist' name, but it is a small laboratory so a phone call to the Director's Office would be the place to start. Jeff Napp

Aldo:

Several years back I published a paper that used SST information to assess the likelihood that reef fishes recruiting to Bermuda are transported from distant population sources.

Schultz, E.T. and R.K. Cowen. 1994. Recruitment of coral reef fishes to Bermuda: Local retention or long-distance transport? Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. 109: 15-28.

Hope this is useful.
