Abstract

Anomaly occurrence is a constant worldwide problem in aquaculture and it raises economic and animal welfare issues. The early-stage removal of abnormal fish from the stocks is necessary, and the sorting process remains manual worldwide, causing a significant increase in personnel cost and delays in the production cycle. The purpose of this project is to develop an integrated automated system for the valid sorting of farmed fishes by removing these with shape or colour anomalies or skeletal deformities. The sorting will be based on vision analysis and shape pattern recognition techniques.
