Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive discussion of the application and importance of sea surface temperature (SST) remote sensing data in environmental assessment of fisheries. By analysing the collection, processing and practical application of SST data, the article demonstrates how this technology can help scientists and fisheries managers to better understand the impacts of ocean temperature changes on fisheries resources and its role in ensuring the sustainability of global fisheries. The article begins by describing the importance of the marine environment to fishery resources and explains the development of SST remote sensing technology and its application to fishery location and environmental monitoring. The article then discusses in detail the application of SST data in practical fisheries management, in particular how it can help predict fish migration, optimise fishing activities, and assess the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems. In addition, the article explores the main challenges faced when applying SST data, such as technical limitations, complexity of data interpretation, and unequal access on a global scale. Overall, this article highlights the indispensable role of SST remote sensing data in modern fisheries management, while also pointing out the limitations of its application and future directions. With the continuous advancement of remote sensing technology and the ongoing impact of global climate change, SST data are expected to play an increasingly important role in future fisheries environmental assessment and resource management.
