FIShBOT
Fishing Industry Shared Bottom Oceanographic Timeseries





A Cooperative Ocean Observing Product


FIShBOT is a new data product built to increase access to observations of underwater conditions collected by both fishing and science communities.

This standardized in-situ gridded dataset demonstrates the power of collaboration by integrating diverse oceanographic datasets in effort to transform raw information into impactful, real-world tools.


Temporal Range: 2000-01-01 - Present Day

What data does FIShBOT provide?

Researchers and the fishing community alike share the need to better understand and monitor ocean conditions in our dynamic region. FIShBOT data comes directly from sensors that measure:

  • Temperature
  • Salinity
  • Dissolved Oxygen
