AdriFOOS
AdriFOOS consists of Fishery & Oceanography Observing Systems (FOOS) installed on commercial fishing vessels operating in the Adriatic Sea and a datacenter located at IRBIM Ancona. Since 2003, some Adriatic fishing vessels were equipped with semiautomatic systems to collect useful oceanographic and biological data (Fishery Observing System; Falco et al 2007;Carpi et al 2015;Aydoğdu et al 2016; Sparnocchia et al 2016;Lucchetti et al 2018). In 2012, the modular FOOS system was developed that can collect and send in near real-time to an inland server more parameters, with better accuracy and send back useful information on board (Patti et al 2016; Martinelli et al 2016). Il server IRBIM receives data collected in the Adriatic Sea during fishing phases along the water column and near the bottom (temperature, salinity, etc.), GPS tracks, catch per set, and weather data; all of which is stored in a database Multifunctional that enables validation and analysis processes (Pen et al 2020). Demonstrations of functionality were carried out during European projects (JERICO;Sparnocchia et al 2017) with definition of internationally recognized best practices (Möller et al 2019;Van Vranken et al 2020). AdriFOOS is involved in the H2020 NAUTILOS for the validation and demonstration of next-generation oceanographic sensors designed for use on fishing gear.
