INCOIS is providing Marine Fishery Advisory Services to the fishermen. To evaluate it’s accuracy and in order to develop species-specific advisories it is necessary to collect the fish-catch information at the species level. While fisherfolk are supportive to these efforts, often species level catch reporting is having hinderances due to several reasons pertaining to manual efforts which results to low or erroneous reporting. Solution Needed: Hackathon teams may develop AI-ML based tool for image-based identification of fish-species found in the Indian seas. The images of fishes may be taken from online image searches. Similar tools are provided in reference links below. INCOIS will be able to use this for it’s fishermen feedback app, where fishermen need to take a photo of fishes caught and fish-identification will be done through code, minimizing the manual intervention.

This repository contains a demonstration of an application that was built during the SIH. It features offline object detection for fishes, offline caching, and upload scheduling with WorkManager. However, it is currently unable to perform fish classification because the classification model has not yet been hosted. We plan to integrate this functionality into the application in the future. Thank you for your interest.
