Non-Invasive Fish Biometrics for Enhancing Precision and Understanding of Aquaculture Farming through Statistical Morphology Analysis and Machine Learning.

Aquaculture requires precise non-invasive methods for biomass estimation. This research validates a novel computer vision methodology that uses a signature function-based feature extraction algorithm combining statistical morphological analysis of the size and shape of fish and machine learning to improve the accuracy of biomass estimation in fishponds and is specifically applied to tilapia (
