Commercial activity, distilled into clear signals

Fish Fathom turns dense AIS track history into a clean analytics view so you can understand how commercial fleets move, where they slow down, and which patterns repeat over time.

  • ✓
    Track summaries: See vessel name, distance, average speed, and offshore range at a glance.
  • ✓
    Pattern scoring: Highlight consistent movement that suggests productive fishing behavior.
  • ✓
    Activity tags: Quickly filter for bottom fishing, trolling, or both.

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, course, and overlap. 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.
