Results of remote sensing data using for maintenance of fishery in the Far-eastern Seas are presented. Satellite data
on the sea surface temperature in the South Kuril area and Japan Sea were used to define the patterns favorable for
successful fishery of pelagic fishes and squids and to reveal the mechanisms of fish and squid spatial distribution.
The satellite SST data were used also for monitoring of oceanographic conditions for the kelp Laminaria japonica
reproduction that revealed its dependence on activity of the Primorye Current. The satellite data on the sea ice in the
Okhotsk Sea allowed to understand relationships between ice conditions and atmospheric circulation and to classify
seasonal features of ice processes in the main spawning grounds of herring at the northwestern coast of the Sea for
forecasting the spawning.
Keywords: IR image, altimetry data, currents, ice conditions, fishery
