Filhote - ferramenta de suporte à análise e interpretação de dados biológicos

Abstract

This work presents a proposal to structure the data of fishes collected in the region of hydroelectric plant Luís Eduardo Magalhães (or hydroelectric plant of Lajeado), during the 1999-2012 period and also a tool development, called Filhote, for the administration of these data. The main purpose is to provide an efficient way to manipulate and store the obtained data, enabling the construction of time series aggregating results from future collections. To this intent, it was developed a data model for the structured storage of this set, aiming to provide the basis for studies on the monitoring of fish fauna in environments with and without reservoir. Taking this model as the basis, the Filhote tool has been integrated into the application of Data Mining WEKA in order to provide the researcher a means of data analysis through the generation of association rules. The data model and the developed tool are viable to treatment of existing data and they are presented as a good alternative for projects that collect data in this same direction, enabling the expansion of the storage modules, as well as the inclusion of new data mining algorithms.
