Modeling the spatial autocorrelation of pelagic fish abundance

Temporal and spatial variation in pelagic fish abundance in Lake Mead determined from echograms

Spatial Autocorrelation

Glossary AutoA prefix literally meaning self; spatial autocorrelation means self-correlation, or values within a given variable are correlated, resulting in the variable being correlated with itself. Correlation A description of the nature and degree of a relationship between a pair of quantitative variables. Geary Ratio An index of spatial autocorrelation, involving the computation of squared ...

Spatial Autocorrelation

Spatial autocorrelation is a method of Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA). The latter set of methods allow for the study and understanding of the spatial distribution and spatial structure as well as they allow for detecting spatial dependence or autocorrelation in spatial data. More specifically, spatial autocorrelation is the correlation between the values of a single variable that is s...

A Simplification Method of Terrain Modeling Based on Spatial-autocorrelation

To solve the problem of three-dimensional terrain simplification in large-scale which was based on digital elevation model (DEM) data, a terrain simplified method based on the theory of spatial autocorrelation was proposed. The slope, a key factor for expressing the terrain features, has been taken into account in this method. According to principle of regional similarities in geomorphology is ...

Bioenergetics modeling of the annual consumption of zooplankton by pelagic fish feeding in the Northeast Atlantic

The present study uses bioenergetics modeling to estimate the annual consumption of the main zooplankton groups by some of the most commercially important planktivorous fish stocks in the Northeast Atlantic, namely Norwegian spring-spawning (NSS) herring (Clupea harengus), blue whiting (Micromesistius poutassou) and NEA mackerel (Scomber scombrus). The data was obtained from scientific surveys ...
