The investigation of sea surface chlorophyll-a (SSC) and sea surface temperature (SST) in relation to fish catch variability within the Indonesian region were conducted by using satellite data of NOAA-AVHRR, SeaWiFs and Aqua MODIS. The investigation focused in the region of the coastal area of Java, Lampung Bay and South Kalimantan as representation of the environment diversities of the Indonesian seas.  The result shows that seasonal variation in fish productivity has a strong correlation with SSC variability. High fish productivity corresponded well with high concentration of SSC, and the productivity tended to decrease when the SSC concentration was declined. High SSC variability in the coastal area of Java and Lampung Bay was governed by the upwelling  that induced high nutrient load into the sea surface during the southeast monsoon, while  in the northern coastal area of Java and South Kalimantan, it was governed by high precipitation ocurring during the northwest monsoon that enhanced the nutrient load through the rivers and coastal discharge.

Mackerel fish that classified pelagic fish and an export commodity in Indonesia. Distribution of mackerel fish are foundn all Indonesian waters, one of them in the Bali Strait. Distribution of mackerel fish influenced by oceanographic condition such as sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll-a concentration. SST and chlorophyll-a concentrations are environmental parameters that can provide information on fishing ground. The purpose of this research is explained the temporal fluctuation and relationship between SST and chlorophyll-a concentration with mackerel fish had been catch in Bali Strait waters during 2011-2016. Data were analyzed using simple correlation analysis with 95% confidence interval. Temporally, the highest average SST occurred during the transition season I (March-May) and the lowest in the east season (June-August). The highest average chlorophyll-a concentration occurs in the east season and the lowest in the west season (December-February). The highest catch of mackerel fish occurred during transitional season II (September-November) and lowest in west season. The association between SST and chlorophyll-a concentration on mackerel fish catch showed low correlation with significant relationship, whereas concentration between SST and chlorophyll-a concentration strong with significant correlation

The Bali Strait is one of Indonesia's territorial waters that have high natural resource potential. The area is only about 2,500 km2 but has a high potential fishing ground. The Bali Strait has unique and dynamic waters that can cause fluctuations in fish production amount each year. The largest type of fish caught in the Bali Strait is lemuru (Sardinella lemuru), a fish found only in the Bali Strait. This fish plays a significant role in the economy of fishers in the Bali Strait. Each year the catch of lemuru has fluctuated, making fishing locations challenging to predict. Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) are oceanographic parameters that can affect the resources of the ocean. Oceanographic phenomena, such as upwelling, can also influence the condition of fish resources. Therefore, understanding the relationships between these factors is essential in practical fisheries management. Observation of oceanographic factors is very hard with the field observation due to time and cost limitations. The remote sensing technique is an efficient method to determine SST distributions and Chl-a concentrations using satellite imagery. This study analyzes SST and Chl-a concentration in the Bali Strait using the Global Change Observation Mission(GCOM-C) satellite and determines the correlation between Chl-a and SST with a total fish catch(lemuru) during 2019. The results showed the maximum average Chl-a concentration observed on August 1.62 mg/m3 and the lowest concentration observed on January 0.45 mg/m3, the maximum SST on March was 28.12° C, and on August (Dry season) with 22.40° C. The SST variable's influence provides a negative correlation (R = -0.209) with changes in lemuru catch, while the Chl-a parameter has a positive correlation (R = 0.375) with changes in the catch. The pattern of relationship between Chl-a with fish catching had a good relationship than the SST in 2019.Keywords: Bali Strait; Sardinella lemuru; SST; Chl-a.

Variability of chlorophyll-a concentration and sea surface temperature (SST) in Natuna waters were analyzed using satellite data Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (NOAA-AVHRR). SeaWiFS data with a resolution of 9×9 km2 and AVHRR with a resolution of 4×4 km2 were the monthly average data downloaded from NASA website. Chlorophyll-a concentrations and SST were estimated using OC4v4 and MCSST algorithms. In general, the concentration of chlorophyll-a in Natuna waters ranged between 0.11-4.92 mg/m3 with an average of 0.56 mg/m3 during the west season and 0.09-2.93 mg/m3 with an average of 0.66 mg/m3 during the east season. Chlorophyll-a concentrations were relatively high seen in coastal areas, especially around the mouth of the Kapuas, Musi, and Batang Hari rivers allegedly caused by the high nutrient intake from the mainland. SST variability in Natuna waters ranged from 23.46-30.88 °C during the west season and tended to be lower than that the east season (27.91-31.95 °C). In addition, the SST values tended to be lower in the offshore than that inshore. During the west season (Nov-Feb) and the transitional season (Apr) in the years of Elnino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the concentration of chlorophyll-a and the SST in Natuna waters was generally higher than that in non-ENSO years. The results of wind analyses showed that ENSO caused the change of direction and speed of wind from its normal conditions.Keywords: Sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a, Natuna waters, ENSO, SeaWiFS, AVHRR

The analysis of synoptic satellite data of total chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) and the environmental drivers that influence nutrient and light availability for phytoplankton growth allows us to understand the spatio-temporal variability of phytoplankton biomass. In the Panama Bight Tropical region (PB; 1–9°N, 79–84°W), the spatial distribution of Chl-a is mostly related to the seasonal wind patterns and the intensity of localized upwelling centers. However, the association between the Chl-a and different physical variables and nutrient availability is still not fully assessed. In this study, we evaluate the relationship between the Chl-a and multiple physical (wind, Ekman pumping, geostrophic circulation, mixed layer depth, sea level anomalies, river discharges, sea surface temperature, and photosynthetically available radiation) and chemical (nutrients) drivers in order to explain the spatio-temporal Chl-a variability in the PB. We used satellite data of Chl-a and physical variables, and a re-analysis of a biogeochemical product for nutrients (2002–2016). Our results show that at the regional scale, the Chl-a varies seasonally in response to the wind forcing and sea surface temperature. However, in the coastal areas (mainly Gulf of Panama and off central-southern Colombia), the maximum non-seasonal Chl-a values are found in association with the availability of nutrients by river discharges, localized upwelling centers and the geostrophic circulation field. From this study, we infer that the interplay among these physical-chemical drivers is crucial for supporting the phytoplankton growth and the high biodiversity of the PB region.

Variability and validation of sea surface temperatures (SST) in north Papua waters were conducted using SST estimated by Pathfinder algorithm of NOAA AVHRR satellite and SST measurements from TAO buoy in 2001-2009. Satellite data (SST Pathfinder) were daily, weekly, and monthly composite with 4x4 km2 resolution and downloaded from http://poet.jpl.nasa.gov. In situ data (SST measurement from buoy TAO) were measured at a depth of 1.5 m and recorded every hour (http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/tao_deliv). The in situ data then converted into daily, weekly, and monthly average data. In general, the SST values of both satellite and in situ SST in the north Papua waters ranged between 27.10 - 31.90 °C. During the east season (June-September), SST values (27.90-31.90 °C) were generally higher than the SST values ( 27.10-30.13 °C) during the west season (December-February). In general, the SST values both day-time and night-time from in situ and the satellite measurements showed no significant differences except in waters close to the shore. The results also showed that the coefficient of determination values (R2) between the satellite and the in situ SST measurements were relatively low (65%) and up to 5% of RMSE. The relatively low correlation between in situ dan satellite SST measurements may be due to high cloud coverage (90-96%) in the north Papua waters so that SST satellite data become less representative of the in situ data. These results also indicated that the Pathfinder algorithm can not be used as a valid estimate of SST NOAA AVHRR satellite for the north Papua waters.

<p>Variability of sea surface temperature (SST) and the concentration of chlorophyll-a (Chla) in Jakarta Bay and its surrounding waters were analyzed based on the time series data of monthly mean SST and Chla estimated by NOAA AVHRR, SeaWiFS, and MODIS satellites for 17 years (1997 to 2014). Generally, the monthly mean SST values fluctuated seasonally with the semi-annual pattern with the maximum value occurred in the second transitional season (Oct-Nov) and relatively high in the first transitional season (Mar). In contrast, the minimum of monthly mean SST values was found during the east season (Jul) and relatively low during the west season (Des-Jan). SST variabilities were generally associated with the sun position, sea water circulation, and rainfall. Based on MODIS data, the minimum-maximum of monthly mean SST ranged of 28.39°C-32.58°C. Seasonal fluctuations with the semi-annual pattern also occurred in the monthly mean Chla values with the maximum value occurred during the west season (Des-Jan) and relatively high values occurred during the east season (Jun). In contrast, the minimum of the monthly mean Chla was found during the second transition season (Sep-Oct) and relatively low during the first transitional season (March-Apr). The minimum-maximum of monthly mean Chla ranged of 0.09 mg/m<sup>3</sup>-2.50 mg/m<sup>3</sup>. Chla fluctuations were generally associated with the variabilities of rainfall, river water discharge, and sea water circulation of the Java Sea. Anomalous climatic factors such as El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and La Nina produced a significant impact on the SST and Chla interannual variability. Generally, the ENSO phenomenon lo-wers the value SST and Chla, while La Nina events tended to increase Chla values.</p><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a, fluctuation, NOAA AVHRR, SeaWiFS, MODIS</em></p>
