Applications of RS (Remote Sensing) to fisheries oceanography are rapidly spreading to many sea areas in the world. Many of them, however, are not necessarily in higher level than contemporary methods, while the technology of satellites and sensors are being developing exceedingly.
Authors analysed applicabilities of RS to fisheries oceanography and carried out case studies on the pursuance of them in various sea areas and also for different living marine resources. On the basis of the findings, authors consolidated results of investigations for long years and showed how those applicabilities were being pursued in major foreign countries.
Through these aspects, international views for the technical cooperation or the needs/seeds-oriented research are expected.
