About the initiative
Description of the initiative
This completed project (2020/21) aimed to utilize machine learning and imaging technology in fisheries science. The proponent planned to use Video and Image Analytics for Marine Environments (VIAME), an open-source system developed by NOAA, for two specific purposes: 1. Measure the movement of Atlantic cod across boundaries at the Gilbert Bay Marine Protected Area in Newfoundland and Labrador. 2. Assess the impact of seismic surveying on Atlantic cod as part of a project funded by the Environmental Studies Research Fund (ESRF). The automatic detection and count of fish near MPA boundaries was expected to reduce use of personnel time and effort.
