Abstract Saitoh, S-I., Mugo, R., Radiarta, I N., Asaga, S., Takahashi, F., Hirawake, T., Ishikawa, Y., Awaji, In, and Shima, S. 2011. Some operational uses of satellite remote sensing marine GIS for sustainable fisheries aquaculture. – ICES Journal Marine Science, 68: 687–695. An overview remote-sensing (SRS) applications in is presented, includes two case studies illustrating the societal benefits SRS. The first describes use satellite-based vessel monitoring systems (VMS) SRS data a skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) fishery, including simple algorithm determining fishing activity from speed. second study illustrates application remotely sensed information impact climate change on site suitability scallop (Mizuhopecten yessoensis) Global warming simulated according to Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change scenarios had significant sites with greatest challenges field are also discussed.
