In this paper we build, implement and analyze a spatio-temporal database describing the fishing activities in the Northern Adriatic Sea over four years. The database results from the fusion of two complementary data sources: trajectories from fishing vessels (obtained from terrestrial Automatic Identification System, or AIS, data feed) and the corresponding fish catch reports (i.e., the quantity and type of fish caught). We present all the phases of the dataset creation, starting from the raw data and proceeding through data exploration, data cleaning, trajectory reconstruction and semantic enrichment. Moreover, we formalise and compare different techniques to distribute the fish caught by the fishing vessels along their trajectories. We implement the database with MobilityDB, an open source geospatial trajectory data management and analysis platform. Subsequently, guided by our ecological experts, we perform some analyses on the resulting spatio-temporal database, with the goal of mapping the fishing activities on some key species, highlighting all the interesting information and inferring new knowledge that will be useful for fishery management.

Abstract

In this paper we build, implement and analyze a spatio-temporal database describing the fishing activities in the Northern Adriatic Sea over four years. The database results from the fusion of two complementary data sources: trajectories from fishing vessels (obtained from terrestrial Automatic Identification System, or AIS, data feed) and the corresponding fish catch reports (i.e., the quantity and type of fish caught). We present all the phases of the dataset creation, starting from the raw data and proceeding through data exploration, data cleaning, trajectory reconstruction and semantic enrichment. Moreover, we formalise and compare different techniques to distribute the fish caught by the fishing vessels along their trajectories. We implement the database with MobilityDB, an open source geospatial trajectory data management and analysis platform. Subsequently, guided by our ecological experts, we perform some analyses on the resulting spatio-temporal database, with the goal of mapping the fishing activities on some key species, highlighting all the interesting information and inferring new knowledge that will be useful for fishery management.
