Low-cost automatic fish measuring estimation

For an optimal fish raising under captivity conditions, biomass calculation is usually an essential factor to estimate the ideal amount of food required. Usually, this process implies human-animal interaction, however, fish manipulation can affect their correct growth or even cause their death. In particular, some fish species like Senegalese sole, can easily be stressed when they are manipulated out from their environment. The advances on image recognition systems have opened a new range of possibilities to avoid any kind of human-animal interaction. With a lowest estimation of 0.8 centimeters, and around 95% of accuracy detection, our novel prototype can successfully provide a highly accurate fish measuring estimation based on an image, which can be provided by any kind of device, such as mobile phone.
