The impact of oceanographic conditions on fishing ground distribution of flying squid (Ommastrephes bartrami) in the Western North Pacific using remotely sensed satellite data

The spatiotemporal fluctuation of flying squid resources from July to November in 2009 to 2014 and its relationship with ocean environmental variables are analyzed with the GAM model in this study. The most suitable SST, SLA and Chla are 16–18°C, 0.5–4 cm and 0.25–0.3 mg/m³, respectively. The model results showed that the Month and the Latitude have greatest effect on the CPUE. The influence of environmental factor followed by G0–100, G200–300, SST, T300, T100, SSTG, Chla, SLA and EKE.
