Table of tides:
Tides are periodic movements of rise and fall of the sea, caused by the attraction of sun and moon. When the tide reaches its highest level it's called high tide and when it reaches its lowest level it is called low tide.
Rising tide is the period between low and high tide, the reverse period is called dropping tide.

SST:
The spatial and temporal patterns of sea surface temperature (SST) may determine the survival and distribution of organisms that live in shallow waters. It is very useful for the fishery because the fishermen can be certain of where the waters are more favorable to fish, depending on the species that they are looking for.

Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll concentration provides an estimate of the live phytoplankton biomass in the surface layer. It is also referred to as the amount of the green pigment chlorophyll. Fishes have joined to feed in phytoplankton reach zones.
