This major project involving several objectives and phases to meet the goal of developing a satellite-based fishery forecasting system in the South China Sea is aimed at supporting the national aspirations of developing an efficient offshore fishery. More importantly, it is aimed at providing the basis for alternate ways towards meeting the sustainable harvest of fishery resources. To date, the first phase of the project is completed with the development of an efficient extraction algorithm of sea surface temperature of South China Sea, which includes automatic geocoding, cloud masking and land masking. A GIS [geographic information system] model of historical fish catch and oceanographic database for satellite and ship-based data is currently being developed. Preliminary results show a clear correlation of fish catch areas with the presence of warm waterfronts of Malaysia continent. The study will now go into the second phase to produce a GIS-based system for predicting potential fishing zones by seasons
