Proper designation of Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) is a highly
important spatial measure in any management of fishery resources.
EFH is defined as those waters and substrates necessary to fish for
spawning, breeding, feeding, or growth to maturity, a definition
that includes the physical, chemical and biological properties of
marine areas and the associated sediment and biological assemblages
that sustain fish populations throughout their full life cycle.
This book presents latest advances in EFH mapping and modelling
and introduces the environmental approach to EFH identification
through the combined use of latest technologies and advanced
techniques, such as Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems
and Spatial Statistics.
The contents of this book include overviews and comparisons of
different approaches on species habitat modelling, methods to
identify teleconnection patterns between large-scale meteo-oceanic
phenomena and local environmental variation, and EFH maps for
cephalopod, shrimp, hake, anchovy, sardine, and swordfish resources
in the Mediterranean. The aims of this book are to provide
accumulated knowledge on marine species essential habitat mapping
and to be a source for further developments in the important topic
of marine resource management.
