<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 7 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>The spatial distribution of Al Sakkar fishing gear used in Abu Dhabi Emirate. Al Sakkar is a barrier net placed parallel along the shore line in shallow waters. The net is fixed with wooden poles in the sand and with rising tide, water enters the area between shore line and Al Sakkar. During ebb tide, the fish becomes trapped behind the barrier net. Al Sakkar is regulated to be used only within buhoors by tarad fishermen holding privileged concession rights to fish in a specific sea area (buhoor). Data originates from Abu Dhabi commercial fisheries statistics stored in the National Fisheries Information System (NFIS), 2010-2012. Enumerators interview fishermen on their fishing trip whereabouts, utilizing a marine grid with spatial units measuring approx. 18 by 18 km. This allowed to pinpoint the actual fishing grounds for the Al Sakkar fishing gear more accurately. The resulting spatial distribution polygon was inferred by Inverse Distance Weighting tool (IDW), classified to eight Jenks natural break classes, excluding fishing intensity values below 0.05. The total sample size was 405 records obtained from Al Marfa, Saadiyat and Al Bateen landing sites. </SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN /></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
