PREDICTING BYCATCH HOTSPOTS IN TROPICAL TUNA PURSE SEINE FISHERIES AT THE BASIN SCALE

Fisheries observer programs represent the most reliable way to collect data on fisheries bycatch.However, their limited coverage leads to important data gaps that preclude bycatch mitigation at the basin scale.Habitat models developed from available fisheries observer programs offer a potential solution to fill these gaps.We focus on tropical tuna

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is the base for many Carving Fork Sets critical applications where a large number of nodes are deployed in the monitored field.Those nodes suffer from limited processing capabilities as well as energy.They are also required to live for a long time; sensors send their data to the sink node through multi-hop routing.Th
