Abstract
Remote sensing is one of the emerging technology for sustainability to fisheries, by the use of synoptic ocean measurements, various satellite oceanic remote sensing play a major role for fishery forecasting, fishery research and fishery management, and also the influence of fluctuations in the availability of food in the critical period of larval stages can be investigated through the application of ecological indicators and so this will increase the relationship between the ecosystem factors and recruitment of key species. Most of the marine stocks are fully exploited or over exploited than aquaculture stocks and there is also demand for marine fisheries resources so it should be managed by the use of modern technology like the use of satellite remote sensibly information, some of the software which are capable of using geo referenced data for a range of spatial analysis and outputs, application of GIS, identification of potential fishing zone for catching abundance of fishes in the sea is measured by various remote sensing tools which is useful for both inland and marine fisheries.
