Using medium-resolution (250-m) data collected by Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) from December 2010 to November 2013, we whiting spatial temporal patterns region. Classification rules were first established, then applied all 474 cloud-free sun glint-free MODIS images. Whiting occurrences between 25°46′N 25°20′N less than 40 km southwest coastline. Over 3-year period, occurrence peaked spring autumn reached minimum during winter summer months. Further field laboratory researc...
