Fishing for data! Collaborative integration of sensors with fishing can fill some of the most pressing gaps in our sustained ocean monitoring. Fishing vessels operate exactly where autonomous platforms cannot, leading to a surprising lack of data close to shore compared with the open ocean.

We enable cost-effective collection of ocean data, by equipping fishing gears with sensors. Profiles of temperature, salinity, and other essential ocean variables are measured, sent to the vessel, and then onto users in real time. Today a shortage of these data types holds back advances in dynamic ecosystem-based fisheries management, virtually every branch of oceanography, climate change monitoring, and many advances for the blue economy.

As a Masters of Technology student, my research project is focused on fisheries sustainability, with an emphasis on the use of technology to support fisheries monitoring and management objectives, including protected species bycatch reduction. In particular, I’m currently exploring opportunities to try and automate the identification of seabird interactions in EM footage from longline fisheries using machine learning and computer vision.

Based in New Zealand, I’m always excited to connect with others working in fisheries EM and related issues around the world – please feel free to get in touch.

Ai.Fish was formed to bring the latest in artificial intelligence research to problems in marine sustainability and conservation. The company is based on Oahu, where its founders built the world’s leading CAD/CAM software company for surfboard manufacturing. The team is excited to now bring their passion for the ocean, connection to the local community, and deep technical expertise to fisheries Electronic Monitoring.

Ai.Fish’s current focus is a computer vision platform which utilizes advanced artificial intelligence to speed up the most time-consuming parts of the Electronic Monitoring review process. Our platform automatically detects catch events from video and sensor data, greatly reducing the amount of footage requiring review, and assists reviewers with suggestions from species classification algorithms. We are actively performing R&D in computer vision and machine learning, and are exploring other areas where AI can further assist the EM review process.

We know there is no one-size-fits-all solution for Electronic Monitoring, and we believe state-of-the-art research can only have impact if it is brought to market through a user and stakeholder focus. We offer custom-built technology to fit the unique requirements of each fishery, and work with stakeholders to match the pace of EM’s adoption. Please contact us to learn more about what we can do for you.
