The fishing Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) is a satellite based
The fishing Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) is a satellite-based
monitoring system which at regular intervals provides data to the fisheries
authorities on the location, course and speed of vessels. VMSs are

applications also include safety and enforcement.
Among the objectives of the CNR national project SSD-Pesca and of the
RITMARE Flagship Programme (“The Italian research for the sea”) is the
development of an enhanced VMS, to be used for scientific research and
improved fish stock assessment. The system was given the name FOOS
(Fisheries Oceanography Observing System)

This presentation aims at giving a short overview of the features of the

CONCLUSIONS
The data acquired by the FOOS installed on board of different kinds of
fishing boats, as well as providing a valuable framework for navigation and
in situ weather conditions can give useful information on fishing effort
in-situ weather conditions, can give useful information on fishing effort
distribution patterns, to the aims of improving the management of marine
resources.
Specifically, the acquisition of geo-referenced catch data allows the
estimation of catch per unit effort (CPUE) that can be put in relation to
oceanographic data collected during the same fishery operation, in order
to better understand relationships between environmental conditions and
the distribution of the target fish species.

Furthermore, the collection of environmental information may contribute
to data assimilation of meteorological and oceanographic models, in order
to increase accuracy in forecasts.
