Abstract
We demonstrated a tool for visualising multi-dimensional datasets, using an example of fish schools around artificial reefs off the coast of Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi prefecture, Japan. The datasets included acoustic surveys of fish schools, water temperature data, descriptions of the artificial reefs, sediment data, and bathymetry and coastal line data. These datasets were integrated into geographic information system software, which can be used to describe the relationship between water temperature and fish schools; fish schools associated with reefs; and the status of the artificial reefs on the classified seabed. This new tool provides a better understanding of the distribution of fish schools based on their spatial location in context with environmental information around artificial reefs.
