Tracking fish: University students use machine learning for fishery monitoring startup
With millions of boats across the world, it is difficult for regulators to stop fishers who exceed catching limits. Even those with no malicious intent can accidentally catch too much because of manual reporting practices. Enter OnDeck Fisheries AI, a Vancouver, B.C.-based startup developing software to automatically scan how many fish are brought onto a ship. The company's machine learning and computer vision technology tracks the precise biomass and type of fish without requiring human observers. The idea is to help regulators and fishers rely on an automated solution to ensure they are complying with fishing regulations.
