Abstract: Despite the historical limitations associated with the study of marine species, current technology makes it possible to collect ocean animal data in a more accessible way, with a variety of tagging and tracking devices. Hence, such information is nowadays generated in large amounts, often in textual formats, making it difficult to interpret and analyze. Information visualization, due to its potential to represent large amounts of data while alleviating cognitive load associated with data interpretation, may help overcome this limitation. This article presents the visualization of a marine species that allows the representation and interactive exploration of species' telemetric data through an integrated dashboard with coordinated views. A species image recognition module was implemented together with the described visualization, enabling species recognition. Usability tests have validated its potential in making important patterns immediately perceivable and also showed that FishEye provides exploration and comparison mechanisms to obtain further relevant information.
