Satellite ocean data can inform precision fishing

Commercial fishing is important both economically and socially around the world. However, there a need for to become more efficient maximise protein caught emissions released ratio. Predicting fish abundance location using ocean predictors may enable greater efficiency precision. The recent release of catch data by Norwegian Directorate Fisheries stimulated Nordic AI Meet initiate competition apply artificial intelligence increase commercial efficiency. Satellite model predictions were used predict gross catches ten species landed in ports, seven days into future. Random forest regression ensembles generated monotonic linear actual catch. exact maximum landings future week was elusive, however predicted distribution maps provide skippers with an additional tool supplement their knowledge experience precise fishing.
