Seafisheries landings dashboard

User guide – Power BI dashboard

Summary

The interactive dashboard is designed to help users explore fisheries landings data through dynamic tables, charts and maps.

Begin by selecting one of the main tabs (Overview, Quantity, Value or Map), each of which presents the same dataset in a different format to support analysis.

To refine the data, use the dropdown filters or slider available on the dashboard. These allow you to select variables such as geography, species group, species or year. After selecting your criteria, the dashboard will automatically adjust to reflect your selections. You can sort or reorganize the displayed data by interacting directly with column headers or legends. Many visuals also support hover functionality, where placing your cursor over a data point reveals additional details and precise values.

How to use the interactive visual

• Overview tab: Provides a high-level summary of the fisheries landings dataset, displaying key indicators and aggregated statistics to give users a quick snapshot of overall value and quantity by year before exploring more detailed data on other tabs.
• Quantity tab: Focuses on physical volumes of fisheries landings, allowing users to analyze how much was landed across years, geographies, species groups or species.
• Value tab: Displays the value of fisheries landings data, enabling users to examine the dollar value of landings and compare across geographies, species groups or individual species, and years.
• Map tab: Presents the data geographically, showing fisheries landings statistics on an interactive map so users can visualize the geographical distribution of landed value and compare values across different provinces.
• Click on a chart element or category (for example, a specific species or year) to further filter the dashboard and focus on that subset of data. Other visuals on the page will update automatically to reflect the selection.
• Hover your cursor over bars, lines, or data points in the charts to display additional details such as the exact values and category labels.
• To compare trends, adjust the year or other filters and observe how the quantities change across time or between selected groups.
• Clear filters to return the dashboard to the default view and display the full dataset again.
