Commercial vessel tracking FAQ

Where does the commercial vessel data come from?

Fish Fathom analyzes historical AIS broadcasts from commercial fishing vessels and summarizes them into track intelligence.

Is this real-time vessel tracking?

No. The analytics focus on historical AIS tracks so you can study repeatable patterns and productive corridors.

What does the Pattern Score mean?

Pattern Score highlights consistency in speed and course. Higher scores indicate more repeatable fishing behavior.

Can I filter for bottom fishing versus trolling?

Yes. Use the activity filter to focus on bottom fishing, trolling, or both, then narrow by date and vessel size.
