Abstract

Fishes are the one of the most important group of cold blooded vertebrates. They have great nutritional, economical, medicinal and industrial importance. Fish provides many nutrients and micronutrients that are essential to the overall development of body and are an important part of a healthy diet. So it is of utmost importance that we should be able to identify the most important species of fishes and differentiate between them. This differentiation can be very useful to people like doctors, marine biologists or the people working in fishing industry. This work aims to propose a fish classification system that works in natural underwater environment which helps to detect fishes with medicinal or nutritional importance. In this study, we use a hybrid deep learning model where a pre-trained VGG16 model is used for Feature Extraction and Stacking ensemble model is used to detect and classify fishes from images. Distinct classes of 8 different species of fish i.e. Cod, Mackerel, Platy, Pollock, Salmon, Swordtail, Tilapia, Zebra Danio consisting of 435 images were used to test the system. As there was no open-source existing dataset relating these species of fishes we have created our own dataset. Our proposed work has been compared with the other state-of-the-art algorithms (kNN, SVM, RF and Tree) and have outperformed them with a classification accuracy of 93.8%.
