    • Behavior measurement using image processing【Instructor: YONEYAMA】

      Among the many methods of behavior measurement, this course focuses on behavior measurement using image processing, which is non-contact and non-intrusive to the target fish, and teaches how to detect and track the position of fish (moving objects) by performing image processing of video and image data.

      図

      The position of fish can be detected and traced for each frame of video using image processing to automatically plot their movement trajectory. Analysis of the movement trajectory enables the user to determine swimming speed, curvature, distance from the tank wall, etc., and to understand behavior patterns.


    • Ocean observation data analysisInstructor UENO

      The Oshoro-Maru, a training ship attached to the Faculty of Fisheries, has conducted numerous oceanographic observations. Among them, the observation of the 155°E north-south line has been conducted continuously since the 1980s, and its data is very valuable for understanding long-term changes in the ocean area east of Honshu. In this experiment, using the Oshoro Maru 155°E observation as an example, you will learn how to analyze data to investigate spatio-temporal variations in the interior of the ocean from ocean observation data.

      〜Visualization of flow fields occurring in a breeding tank

      In aquaculture production, it is known that mass die-offs can occur depending on the setting of water flow, since the swimming ability of fish when they are juveniles is poor and easily affected by the flow field in the tank. In this experiment, the flow in the aquaculture tank, which cannot be confirmed visually, will be analyzed using CFD (Computational Fluild Dynamics) analysis and visualization experiments.
