The Recfish website allows anglers to upload their fish photos so they can be used to train a model to identify different species. (VIMS/WYDaily) Researchers at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) are casting a wide net in search of fish photos. Their immediate goal is to use angler snapshots to train software to identify different fish species. Their ultimate goal is to put that artificial intelligence into a “RecFish” cell-phone app, giving anglers a multi-use field guide right in their pocket, and scientists a collaborative tool for better management of recreational species...
