Applying remote sensing data to fisheries management in BC / Charles G. Hannah and Skip McKinnell editors.: Fs97-6/3156E-PDF

"Projects were developed by Fisheries and Oceans Canada to explore how remotely-sensed data from Earth-orbiting satellites might serve fisheries. Four projects focused on highly migratory fishes with broad distributions: Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.), Pacific hake (Merluccius productus), and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga). A fifth dealt with the development of ocean indices. Some results were useful immediately but others require additional study. Notably, Canada is a member of the North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission whose Enforcement Committee coordinates surveillance activities that detect and deter illegal fishing, primarily for salmon, in the North Pacific."--Abstract.
