Design And Deploy Of Fisheries Genetic Resources Geographic Information System

Including fisheries genetic information, 80% of our life information relates to geographical position, such as conservation position and species distribution. Geographical information systems (GIS) are powerful tools capable of organizing, analyzing, and displaying large, spatially explicit datasets. They can break through our spatial imagination limitation by information connection between "where" and "what", visualization of spatial datasets, and information mapping. As part of project Fisheries Genetic Resources Information Share Platform, Fisheries Genetic Resources GIS (FGR-GIS) speed the protection and usage of fisheries resources in our country by internet public service and GIS techniques applied in storage, management, and output of fisheries genetic data, such as taxonomy, shape characters, ecological habits, genetic information, economic value, conservation and usage status etc., which base on the work of collection, conforming, and conservation in fisheries genetic resources including alive species resources, specimen, and genetic materials.The users of FGR-GIS are identified as the public, data managers, and system mangers. Considering the cost of technique and other realities, FGR-GIS with a C/S structure, VB + MapX as the integration redeveloping style, SQLServer2000 as the attribute data manager system and MapX as spatial data manager control, is designed and deployed. Method for distribution map, in term of water system and province, derived from text descriptions is schemed out, in which the characteristic of freshwater fish distribution is concerned. In FGR-GIS, information can be searched not only by common ways such as name (name in English or Chinese, and scientific name), conservation organization, taxonomy, but also by features in map, which is facilitated by GIS techniques. The Species Explorer which resembled the Explorer of MS Windows operation system is designed based on the database. In Species Explorer, species are assorted into taxonomy order: Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species, which construct a taxonomy tree.
