| 总结: | This paper attempts to classify the oceanographic conditions of the fishing
grids in east coast of Peninsular Malaysia using surface chlorophyll-a content
and sea surface temperature (SST) data from satellite. The variation of SST and
chlorophyll-a content in the South China Sea is greatly affected by the
monsoon system. Analysis results showed that both SST and chlorophyll-a
variations of the fishing grids are closely related to their geographical locations.
The classification using chlorophyll-a on the fishing grids give a clearer
variation compared to SST. Hierarchical cluster analysis gave a better means of
understanding the variations of these oceanographic conditions and the
relationship among the fishing grids. However, to understand how these
variations of oceanographic condition affect the marine fisheries catch in
Malaysian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), further studies should be conducted
using longer time scale data. |
