The Fishing Consultant can predict the future catch rates of a particular species for specified fishing areas and environmental conditions.
The consultant uses catch rate and any other information that is available about the conditions in which each recorded catch occurred to produce a density distribution, indicating which areas are most likely to have the densest population of fish.
A mathematical prediction model is trained on the historical data of catch and all recorded environmental factors. The trained model can then predict future catch rates under conditions specified by the user. The predictive accuracy of the model depends on the quality and quantity of data available in the database. The predicted catch rates can be visualised on a GIS component that provides a colour-coded predicted catch rate grid of each fishing area specified by the user.
