Parametric functional analysis of variance for fish biodiversity

Conservation and restoration of biodiversity in marine environment is a crucial aspect of fishing and related activities. Human activities cause changes in fish population and deep transformation in the type and quality of the water. Fishing, restocking and pollution often bring to reduction and distribution changes of indigenous fish species to the benefit of the diffusion of exotic species. In this context protection and management of water environments become a primary objective. Therefore it is necessary to implement initiatives for protecting and restoring the quality and integrity of native species. Any decision-making process must be based on a careful analysis of the collected data. In this paper we propose a parametric functional approach to study the biodiversity in marine environment.
