Abstract:
1. A method for surveying fishery resources, comprising: a first step of obtaining an operating position data by means of GPS in conjunction with a time data corresponding to a point of time when said operating position data is obtained; a second step of obtaining an identification data given in an identification means which is provided to each of a plurality of fishing gears, in conjunction with a time data corresponding to a point of time when said identification data is obtained; a third step of executing processing for said operating position data and said time data corresponding to said point of time when the operating position data is obtained, and also executing processing for said identification data and said time data corresponding to said point of time when said identification data is obtained, so as to find a match between said time data associated with said operating position data and said time data associated with said identification data, thereby determining a particular operating position data and a particular identification data, both of which correspond to each other in terms of said time data; a fourth step of counting number of fishes and marine lives caught in or by said each of said plurality of fishing gears which are withdrawn from sea so as to obtain a fish-catch-number data with respect to said each of said plurality of fishing gears, and thereafter, associating said fish-catch-number data with said identification data given in said identification means of said each of said plurality of fishing gears for which said fish-catch-number data has been obtained, so as to obtain a particular fish-catch-number data; and a fifth step of executing processing for said particular operation position data and said particular identification data as well as for said particular fish-catch-number data and said identification data given in said identification means of said each of said plurality of fishing gears for which said fish-catch-number data has been obtained, so as to find a match between said particular identification data and said identification data, and determining a definite operating position data and a definite fish-catch-number data, both of which correspond to each other in terms of said identification data.
