Linking Ocean Observation and Fisheries - Relevance to Deep Ocean Living Resources- Juniper Publishers

Image
  Juniper Publishers -  Journal of Oceanography Abstract Systematic ocean observation for real time data collection during the last three decades, development of sensors and tools, and ocean modelling have paved the way for better understanding of the ocean processes and better prediction of coastal hazards like cyclones, tsunami, storm surge, etc., leading to direct societal benefits globally. In particular global ARGO float data have brought in remarkable changes in ocean science studies. This paper discusses about the growing need to link ocean observation to fisheries and futuristic approach about deep ocean marine living resources Go to Introduction The goal of fisheries oceanography is to understand the oceanographic and ecological processes that affect fishery abundance, distribution, and availability and then apply this understanding to improve fisheries assessment and management. Ecophysiology is the interrelationship between the environment and an organism's physiolo...

  Juniper Publishers -  Journal of Oceanography Abstract The study examines India’s performance based on its publication output in Oceanography literature during 2011–2015, based on various aspect of the oceanography research such as growth of papers (year wise), most prolific authors, document types, institutions involved, Sources wise distribution, subject wise distribution of publications and international collaboration linkages. The study reveals that, most of the researchers preferred to publish their research results in journals; as such 1.92% of articles were published in journals, more numbers of articles were published in the year 2015, the study shows that overall average citation per paper was 2.32, all the studies will be helpful for its further development. Further this study also identified to analyses coverage growth rates, coverage growth rates, source wise. Degree of collaboration, institutions wise and Geographical wise distribution of the literature. Keyword...
