AB Fisheries management is generally based on the regulation of the fishing effort, bylimiting fishing capacity and activity. The fishing capacity can be quantified objectively,however, the calculation of the fishing activity requires knowing the effective fishingtime, for which it is essential to monitor the vessels activity. The European VesselMonitoring System (VMS) only describes the geographical position, course and speed ofthe vessel at 2-hour intervals, it is an expensive system used only in vessels over 12 metersin length and there are no common criteria to infer the fishing activity from the VMS data.In order to evaluate more precisely the fishing activity, we propose to incorporate newsensors in the vessels that provide additional information. The sensors of mobile devicesoffer an economic solution that would allow their implementation throughout the fishingfleet. The objective of this work is to evaluate whether the most common sensorsintegrated in current mobile devices: GPS, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and MagneticField, offer relevant information to identify the different phases of bottom trawlingfishing activity. The results obtained indicate that these sensors detect, with very highprecision, foreseeable changes in the movement of the vessel during the towingmanoeuvre.
