Global-scale parameters for ecological models
Coro G., Bove P., Kesner-Reyes K.
This paper presents a collection of environmental, geophysical, and other marine-related data for marine ecological models and ecological-niche models. It consists of 2132 raster data for 58 distinct parameters at regional and global scales in the ESRI-GRID ASCII format. Most data originally belonged to open data owned by the authors of this article but residing on heterogeneous repositories with different formats and resolutions. Other data were specifically created for the present publication. The collection includes 565 data with global scale range; 154 at 0.5° resolution and 411 at 0.1° resolution; 196 data with annual temporal aggregation over ~10 key years between 1950 and 2100; 369 data with monthly aggregation at 0.1° resolution from January 2017 to ~May 2021 continuously. Data were also cut out on 8 European marine regions. The collection also includes forecasts for different future scenarios such as the Representative Concentration Pathways 2.6 (63 data), 4.5 (162 data), and 8.5 (162 data), and the A2 scenario of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (180 data).Source: Scientific data 10 (2023). doi:10.1038/s41597-022-01904-3

Estimating hidden fishing activity hotspots from vessel transmitted data
Coro G., Sana L., Ferrà C., Bove P., Scarcella G.
Monitoring fishery activity is essential for resource planning and guaranteeing fisheries sustainability. Large fishing vessels constantly and continuously communicate their positions via Automatic Identification System (AIS) or Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMSs). These systems can use radio or Global Positioning System (GPS) devices to transmit data. Processing and integrating these big data with other fisheries data allows for exploring the relations between socio-economic and ecosystem assets in marine areas, which is fundamental in fishery monitoring. In this context, estimating actual fishing activity from time series of AIS and VMS data would enhance the correct identification of fishing activity patterns and help assess regulations' effectiveness. However, these data might contain gaps because of technical issues such as limited coverage of the terrestrial receivers or saturated transmission bands. Other sources of data gaps are adverse meteorological conditions and voluntary switch-offs. Gaps may also include hidden (unreported) fishing activity whose quantification would improve actual fishing activity estimation. This paper presents a workflow for AIS/VMS big-data analysis that estimates potential unreported fishing activity hotspots in a marine area. The workflow uses a statistical spatial analysis over vessel speeds and coordinates and a multi-source data integration approach that can work on multiple areas and multiple analysis scales. Specifically, it (i) estimates fishing activity locations and rebuilds data gaps, (ii) estimates the potential unreported fishing hour distribution and the unreported-over-total ratio of fishing hours at a 0.01° spatial resolution, (iii) identifies potential unreported fishing activity hotspots, (iv) extracts the stocks involved in these hotspots (using global-scale repositories of stock and species observation data) and raises an alert about their possible endangered, threatened, and protected (ETP) status. The workflow is also a free-to-use Web Service running on an open science-compliant cloud computing platform with a Web Processing Service (WPS) standard interface, allowing efficient big data processing. As a study case, we focussed on the Adriatic Sea. We reconstructed the monthly reported and potential unreported trawling activity in 2019, using terrestrial AIS data with a 5-min sampling period, containing ~50 million records transmitted by ~1,600 vessels. The results highlight that the unreported fishing activity hotspots especially impacted Italian coasts and some forbidden and protected areas. The potential unreported activity involved 33 stocks, four of which were ETP species in the basin. The extracted information agreed with expert studies, and the estimated trawling patterns agreed with those produced by the Global Fishing Watch.Source: Frontiers in sustainable food systems On line 7 (2023). doi:10.3389/fsufs.2023.1152226

A high-resolution global-scale model for COVID-19 infection rate
Coro G., Bove P.
Several models have correlated COVID-19 spread with specific climatic, geophysical, and air pollution conditions , and early models had predicted the lowering of infection cases in Summer 2020. These approaches have been criticized for their coarse assumptions and because they could produce biases if used without considering dynamic factors such as human mobility and interaction. However, human mobility and interaction models alone have not been able to suggest more innovative recommendations than simple social distancing and lockdown, and would definitely need to include information about the base environmental suitability of a World area to COVID-19 spread. This scenario would benefit from a global-scale high-resolution environmental model that could be coupled with dynamic models for large-scale and regional analyses. This article presents a 0.1°high-resolution global-scale probability map of low and high-infection-rates of COVID-19 that uses annual-average surface air temperature, precipitation, and CO 2 as environmental parameters, and Italian provinces as training locations. A risk index calculated on this map correctly identifies 87% of the World countries that reported high infection rates in 2020 and 80% of the low and high infection-rate countries overall. Our model is meant to be used as an additional factor in other models for monthly weather and human mobility. It estimates the base environmental inertia that a geographical place opposes to COVID-19 when mobility restrictions are not in place and can support how much the monthly weather favors or penalizes infection increase. Its high resolution and extent make it consistently usable in global and regional-scale analyses, also thanks to the availability of our results as FAIR data and software as an Open Science-oriented Web service.Source: ACM transactions on spatial algorithms and systems (Online) 8 (2022). doi:10.1145/3494531

Habitat distribution change of commercial species in the Adriatic Sea during the COVID-19 pandemic
Coro G., Bove P., Ellenbroek A.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to reduced anthropogenic pressure on ecosystems in several world areas, but resulting ecosystem responses in these areas have not been investigated. This paper presents an approach to make quick assessments of potential habitat changes in 2020 of eight marine species of commercial importance in the Adriatic Sea. Measurements from floating probes are interpolated through an advection-equation based model. The resulting distributions are then combined with species observations through an ecological niche model to estimate habitat distributions in the past years (2015-2018) at 0.1° spatial resolution. Habitat patterns over 2019 and 2020 are then extracted and explained in terms of specific environmental parameter changes. These changes are finally assessed for their potential dependency on climate change patterns and anthropogenic pressure change due to the pandemic. Our results demonstrate that the combined effect of climate change and the pandemic could have heterogeneous effects on habitat distributions: three species (Squilla mantis, Engraulis encrasicolus, and Solea solea) did not show significant niche distribution change; habitat suitability positively changed for Sepia officinalis, but negatively for Parapenaeus longirostris, due to increased temperature and decreasing dissolved oxygen (in the Adriatic) generally correlated with climate change; the combination of these trends with an average decrease in chlorophyll, probably due to the pandemic, extended the habitat distributions of Merluccius merluccius and Mullus barbatus but reduced Sardina pilchardus distribution. Although our results are based on approximated data and reliable at a macroscopic level, we present a very early insight of modifications that will possibly be observed years after the end of the pandemic when complete data will be available. Our approach is entirely based on Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data and is general enough to be used for other species and areas.Source: Ecological informatics (Print) 69 (2022). doi:10.1016/j.ecoinf.2022.101675

Filling gaps in trawl surveys at sea through spatiotemporal and environmental modelling
Coro G., Bove P., Armelloni E. N., Masnadi F., Scanu M., Scarcella G.
International scientific fishery survey programmes systematically collect samples of target stocks' biomass and abundance and use them as the basis to estimate stock status in the framework of stock assessment models. The research surveys can also inform decision makers about Essential Fish Habitat conservation and help define harvest control rules based on direct observation of biomass at the sea. However, missed survey locations over the survey years are common in long-term programme data. Currently, modelling approaches to filling gaps in spatiotemporal survey data range from quickly applicable solutions to complex modelling. Most models require setting prior statistical assumptions on spatial distributions, assuming short-term temporal dependency between the data, and scarcely considering the environmental aspects that might have influenced stock presence in the missed locations. This paper proposes a statistical and machine learning based model to fill spatiotemporal gaps in survey data and produce robust estimates for stock assessment experts, decision makers, and regional fisheries management organizations. We apply our model to the SoleMon survey data in North-Central Adriatic Sea (Mediterranean Sea) for 4 stocks: Sepia officinalis, Solea solea, Squilla mantis, and Pecten jacobaeus. We reconstruct the biomass-index (i.e., biomass over the swept area) of 10 locations missed in 2020 (out of the 67 planned) because of several factors, including COVID-19 pandemic related restrictions. We evaluate model performance on 2019 data with respect to an alternative index that assumes biomass proportion consistency over time. Our model's novelty is that it combines three complementary components. A spatial component estimates stock biomass-index in the missed locations in one year, given the surveyed location's biomass-index distribution in the same year. A temporal component forecasts, for each missed survey location, biomass-index given the data history of that haul. An environmental component estimates a biomass-index weighting factor based on the environmental suitability of the haul area to species presence. Combining these components allows understanding the interplay between environmental-change drivers, stock presence, and fisheries. Our model formulation is general enough to be applied to other survey data with lower spatial homogeneity and more temporal gaps than the SoleMon dataset.Source: Frontiers in Marine Science 9 (2022). doi:10.3389/fmars.2022.919339
