Dissemination of angling vessels in the eastern Indian Ocean: a remote sensing perspective

Abstract

Abstract Dissemination of angling vessels extracted from Vessels Monitoring System (VMS) platform and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) boat detection (VBD) data in the eastern Indian Ocean. The data of angling vessels derived VMS platform and VBD data was provided by Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Indonesia and Earth Observation Group, respectively. The results showed the number of angling vessels that operated during southeast monsoon was higher than others monsoon. The dissemination of angling vessels originating from the VMS platform with VIIRS-VBD has a similar pattern, especially from Bali – Nusa Tenggara. In the general, the dissemination variety of angling vessels from VMS showed that angling vessels mostly appeared in the waters of Bali – Nusa Tenggara while the angling vessels from VBD appeared from West Java - Nusa Tenggara. The VMS and VBD data opening up a variety of possible future applications for more calculable data analysis of fisheries.
