1 GIS AND REMOTE SENSING SUPPORTED AQUACULTURE POTENTIAL DETERMINATION ALONG THE LOWER STRETCH OF THE SÃO JOÃO RIVER - RJ

2 LOCALIZATION The basin of the São João river is located at 22 o 20 and 22 o 50 latitude south, and 42 o 00' and 42 o 40 longitude west Studied area of km 2 Comprising an area of 2,113 km 2 and perimeter of 266 km;

3 OBJECTIVES Identify and evaluate the potential areas suitabel to development inland aquaculture in ponds at the coastal zone of the lower course of the São João river; Identification and location of polluting sources; Observe the influence of the sea on the river, the penetration of salt wedge in the rectified stretch and original course of the river and the stratification; Identify suitable areas available for aquaculture of the eurihalinas species Litopenaeus vannamei, Macrobrachium rosenbergii and Oreochromis niloticus.

4 METODOLOGY For this GIS study weused the software IDRISI Andes, developed by Clark University, USA. Pictures and maps were imported into the IDRISI using the Import module GEOTIFF / TIFF. The image were cut with the module Windows and reprojected to UTM zone 23-S with the module Project;

5 Images were adjusted to the working image by the module Resample, picking up at least 50 common points. Image: Brazil Project Topography, 2000 (SRTM, NASA). Environmental Protection Area of the basin of São João river Digitalized picture from EMBRAPA Aerofotogrametry 2001

6 For the implementation of supervised classification was necessary to use various combinations between 7 bands of Landsat images, using the Composite module, allowing interpretations and viewing: antropic area, mangroves, channals, etc

7 ABIOTIC FACTORS The choice of collection stations were made so as to include sites judged most representative, set with GPS in UTMs. The IP (Information Plan) of location of the collection stations were imported into the IDRISI ; We analyzed dthe following abiotic factors: water temperature, salinity, conductivity, ph dissolved oxygen, transparency and fecal coliforms.

8 The abiotic data way interpolated with the module Interpol, showing the trend of intermediate values between the stations of adjacent collection, and then reclassified with the module Reclass, assigning new values for each layer; It was agreed for the following weights and colors for IPs: 4 excellent (green ), 3 very good (blue ), 2 good (yellow ), 1 regular (red ) and 0 restricted (black ).

Each criterion can be assigned a specific weight that reflects it importance relative to other criteria under consideration: pasture, canavial, agriculture, access, water caption (salt and freshwater), soil types and physicalchemical of water (temperature, dissolved oxygen, ph, ) C i i ih l h d i l hi h h Consistency ratios with values near zero show good consistency, values higher than 1,0 indicate that the relative importance comparisons should be reconsidered.

35 Identification of suitable areas for aquaculture Application of techniques of geoprocessing contributed significantly to the analysis and identification of suitable areas for aquaculture; The integration of various types of data, remote sensing (satellite images, import and digitalizing cartographic products and field survey), has shown itself as an efficient and accurate tool, allowing the location of viable areas for the cultivation of the proposed species. The LANDSAT 7 Satellite Images allowed the mapping of land use and development of this work; The IDRISI GIS software proved to be an effective tool, quickly and reliably, which has seen through its modules for georeferensing, the mathematical model, the classification and creating Plans of Information and thematic maps of the suitable areas for aquaculture; The efficiency of the results of this work and methodology used in GIS can be verified on site, of grow-out facilities for L. Vannamei and the future expansion areas of aquaculture farms actually in licensing.
