摘要
Analogous to other top predators foraging on patchy resources, the spatial behaviour of fishers provides information on the spatial organization of fish. Focusing on the Peruvian anchovy purse-seine fishery, vessel monitoring system data are used to describe fishing vessels' trajectories, and acoustic survey data to characterize anchovy spatial distribution. Vessel trajectories were analysed in terms of move-length distribution, whereas fish distribution was characterized by spatial extent, concentration, and fractal dimension. Fishers perform Levy flights that can be characterized by a single statistic (mu); mu is significantly correlated with the fractal dimension of fish distribution. It is argued that the Levy statistic is a good candidate for an ecosystem indicator that might contribute to realtime monitoring of ecosystems.
