Abstract

In the kelp and sea urchin fisheries, fishery surveys are required to select kelp and juvenile sea urchin release sites. In the fishery survey, underwater images obtained from cameras installed in the water are mainly used. Underwater images are used to read algae information and create an algae distribution map, which makes it possible to understand the fishing grounds. This process is expected to simplify the fishery survey and promote the conservation and utilization of fishing grounds. In this paper, we develop an Algae counting application that derives and records algae cover from underwater images using user instructions to simplify the fishing grounds survey process.
