Real-time multi-month forecasting of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) habitat in the western and central Pacific Ocean for improved fishing efficiency and fisheries management

Abstract Marine fish experience shifts in their distribution due to changes in the physical and biological environments. These shifts pose challenges for fishery businesses and management in international fisheries organizations. In the western and central Pacific Ocean, changes in the spatial distribution of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) due to climate variability often influence fishing activities and economic benefits. This study provides an operational forecast to enhance the decision-making process for fishery managers and fishermen by informing them about fish distributions in the coming months. Monthly forecasts of skipjack tuna habitat are generated utilizing a species distribution model (boosted regression trees) in combination with real-time environmental forecasts. An alternative method (dynamic time warping) is proposed to improve monthly chlorophyll forecasts, which are crucial for enhancing skipjack tuna habitat forecasting. To assess the prediction skills of the model, a retrospective analysis was conducted, forecasting skipjack tuna distribution over 9-month periods and comparing the forecasts with observed occurrences. The results demonstrate that 67.9% of the observed skipjack tuna catches occurred within the forecasted habitats, indicating that the forecast model skillfully predicted skipjack tuna movements 9 months in advance. These monthly updated forecasts can serve as a potential tool for resource managers in developing effective management strategies and fishers in planning fishing operations sustainably and responsibly.

Government changes in the fisheries business landscape and assessment of their consequences for small and medium-sized businesses

The article analyzes trends in changes in the fisheries business landscape within the framework of the ongoing state policy of supporting entrepreneurship; the author's approach to revealing the content of the concept of «business landscape» in relation to modern conditions for the development of Russian entrepreneurship is formulated; The main stages of the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the modern history of Russia are systematized according to the criteria of its actual state, trends and problems.

Based on a generalization of the results of foreign and domestic research, the article proposes the author’s definition of the economic category «business landscape», which is important for management purposes, and assesses the level of participation of Russian small and medium-sized businesses in the formation of gross domestic product in comparison with developed countries. Taking into account his own long-term practice of participating in the organization of management of business structures, the author proposed a staged development of entrepreneurship in Russia over the past 30-year period; Negative changes in the business landscape are outlined using the example of fishing activities in the Far Eastern basin, establishing the imperfections of government decisions taken in recent years to increase the tax burden and complicate the procedure for obtaining fishing quotas and environmental permits for fishing entrepreneurship. The results obtained in the course of the study allow us to consider the transition to a new paradigm of state management of the development processes of the Russian fishery business landscape in the interests of all levels of entrepreneurship and the national consumer market to be considered legitimate and appropriate.

Performance of refrigeration unit using monitoring of temperature, humidity and power consumption of freezer machine at Jaya Bahari cold storage

Fishery products generally spoil more quickly than other animal meat products. After being caught, fish will experience changes in quality, the level of these changes will determine the shelf life of the fish. Handling fresh fish is the most important aspect of a fisheries business. Cold storage is a way of storing fish at a certain temperature which allows fresh fish to be stored for long periods, even months, to prevent bacterial growth.
