Increasing the functionalities and accuracy of fisheries electronic monitoring systems
Eric Gilman, Gonzalo Legorburu, Andrew Fedoruk, Craig Heberer, Mark Zimring, Amos Barkai Download paper (PDF) Abstract 1. Fisheries‐dependent data underpin essential scientific and management applications. Electronic monitoring (EM) systems are increasingly being used to supplement human observer programmes and provide coverage where none previously existed. 2. Candidate methods …
The Caltech Fish Counting Dataset: A Benchmark for Multiple-Object Tracking and Counting
Justin Kay, Peter Kulits, Suzanne Stathatos, Siqi Deng, Erik Young,Sara Beery, Grant Van Horn, and Pietro Perona Abstract: We present the Caltech Fish Counting Dataset (CFC), a large-scale dataset for detecting, tracking, and counting fish in sonar videos. We identify sonar videos as a rich source of data for advancing low signal-to-noise computer vision applications and tackling domain …
Perspectives from the water: Utilizing fisher’s observations to inform SNE/MA windowpane science and management
Abstract: Within fisheries, stakeholders often have varying viewpoints regarding natural marine resources, and use different sets information to evaluate their condition. Evaluating a resource with different sets of information can lead to different conclusions. Windowpane flounder (Scophthalmus aquosus) are a managed finfish species in the northwest Atlantic whose regulations have the potential …
Electronic monitoring for improved accountability in western Pacific tuna longline fisheries
Abstract The collection of accurate fisheries catch data is critical to ensuring sustainable management of tuna fisheries, mitigating their environmental impacts and for managing transboundary fish stocks. These challenges are exemplified by the western Pacific tuna longline fishery, whose management includes >26 nations, but is informed by critically low coverage of fishing activities by …
Marine Policy: How performance standards could support innovation and technology-compatible fisheries management frameworks in the U.S.
From the abstract: A healthy fishing industry requires real-time, adaptive, and flexible management to overcome increasing human and ecological threats. Electronic technologies (ET) are at the center of present-day discussions for how to enable robust fisheries management in the face of change. Looking at the United States as a case study, this work identifies the practice of centering regulation …
