Identifying Purse Seine Vessel Operations Through Machine Learning Models for Better Spatial Fishing Effort Estimates

Spatial fisheries management needs accurate spatial data on fish distribution and fishing impacts. In the NW Mediterranean, small pelagic fish stocks are monitored with acoustic surveys, but these lack high temporal resolution. This study used machine learning (random forest) to classify purse seiner vessel activities from VMS data into fishing, tracking, and cruising. The model improved prediction accuracy and provided more reliable fishing effort estimates than traditional speed-filter methods, helping improve spatial CPUE assessments and fisheries management.

Study and characterization of the health status of the deep-water rose shrimp, «Parapenaeus longirostris» (Lucas, 1846), on the Catalan coast

The present study aims to provide a detailed characterization of the parasites and associated pathologies impacting the populations of «Paeapenaeus longirostris». By elucidating the spectrum of parasitic infections and their pathological consequences, this research seeks to contribute to essential knowledge for the understanding of the health status of the species with potential effects on food quality in the Catalan coast.
