  • Analysis and sorting in aquaculture
    Patent number: 12456279
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for sorting fish in aquaculture. In some implementations, one or more images are obtained of a particular fish within a population of fish. Based on the one or more images of the fish, a data element is determined. The data element can include a first value that reflects a physical characteristic of the particular fish, and a second value that reflects a condition factor of the particular fish. Based on the data element, the fish is classified as a member of a particular subpopulation of the population of fish. An actuator of an automated fish sorter is controlled based on classifying the particular fish as a member of the particular subpopulation of the population of fish.
