Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Intelligent Recognition Research for Fish Behavior" focuses on the latest developments in using intelligent and automated techniques for recognizing and analyzing the behavior of fish. Fish behavior is an important area of study for understanding aquatic ecosystems, managing fisheries, and monitoring animal welfare in aquaculture.
The specific research topic is dedicated to (1) enhancing the understanding of aquatic ecosystems—fish are a critical component of aquatic ecosystems, and the study of their behavior can help us better understand and manage the entire aquatic ecosystem; (2) supporting the sustainable utilization of fishery resources; (3) promoting the development of aquaculture—the results of fish behavior research can provide important theoretical guidance for the aquaculture industry, optimize feeding and management, and improve farming efficiency and product quality. This Special Issue aims to showcase applications of machine learning, computer vision, and other state-of-the-art intelligent methods to the study of fish behavior recognition. It calls for original and novel papers related to the following research topics:
- Automated detection, classification, and identification of fish;
- Tracking of individual fish movements and behaviors;
- Analyzing group dynamics and schooling behaviors;
- Monitoring fish health and stress levels;
- Assessing the impacts of environmental changes on fish.
