Abstract:
The study was conducted to collect and display basic information about the fishery in Hormozgan province base on GIS. Maps of major fishing grounds and species, landing centers, fishing ports, and villages were produced, as well as the distribution of fisherman activity was presented. Maps of the spatial distribution of fishing activity and major fishing methods and distribution of fishing vessels and the fishing cooperative activities were produced. Distribution and abundance of some commercial species (63 fish and 5 shrimp species) were mapped all around Hormozgan Province waters. Also, spatial distribution maps of 16 groups of benthos were generated. Distribution of environmental contamination variables such as heavy metals, petroleum pollution variables were mapped in the Oman Sea waters. Distribution of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and Chlorophyll were studied using MODIS satellite imagery data. In this study, some of data and information were generated as maps, this data saved in a database bank; however, they have a basic possibility for upgrading and generating new maps. Thus, the database can reference for fisheries researchers to devise new research project lead, which can be used in decision-making and fisheries management.
