"We were really excited to use a novel and open source of data that helped us drastically improve the resolution at which we can observe and analyze global patterns of industrial fishing behavior among countries," said Caroline Jablonicky, a researcher at UCSB's Marine Science Institute and co-lead author of "Wealthy countries dominate industrial fishing." It is published in the journal Science Advances.

For this study, the researchers examined 22 billion data points of tracking data from fishing vessels that had been analyzed using machine learning technology.
