Fisheries Ecology

Eonfusion's dynamic and visually stunning presentation of data is an ideal means of communicating important information about fisheries ecology.

Assessing Movement and Behavior of Reef Fish

Eonfusion is used in this example as a tool for monitoring the spatial and temporal extent of movement and interchange between deep and shallow water stocks of two commercially important reef fish species. Researchers deployed a series of Vemco VR2 receivers to follow the movement of more than 60 ... Read More

Sea Lions and Fisheries Acoustics (Echoview) data

Eonfusion was used to determine which components of fish stocks are successfully and unsuccessfully caught by juvenile Steller sea lions. Individual sea lions were tracked from a research vessel using VHF transmitters. Concurrent vessel-based hydro-acoustic surveys of fish stocks provided data on ... Read More

Modeling fish school behaviour

Eonfusion can be used to model and animate fish schooling behaviour.  In this example the fish model is an Individual Based Model (IBM) developed by Greg Lee of Myriax. Written in Java, this simple behavioural model is imported into Eonfusion in column formatted ASCII. The basic input data is ... Read More

Dynamic fish distribution analysis

These images were generated from an Eonfusion scene that combines land shapes, bathymetry, transect defintions and an array of fish abundance estimates derived from echosounding. The fish abundance estimates were generated from data gathered during multiple surveys per year over the course of ... Read More
