Fish age reading using deep learning methods for object-detection and segmentation Open
Determination of individual age is one essential step in the accurate assessment of fish stocks. In non-tropical environments, the manual count of ring-like growth patterns in fish otoliths (ear stones) is the standard method. It relies on…
