Freshwater fish is considered a poor man’s protein supplement as they are easily available in lakes, rivers, natural ponds, paddy fields, beels, and fisheries. There are various freshwater fish species that resemble each other, making it difficult to classify them by their external appearance. Manual fish species identification always needs expertise and so, is erroneous. Recently, computer vision along with deep learning plays a significant role in underwater species classification research where the number of species under investigation is always limited to a maximum of eight (8). In this article, we choose deep-learning architectures, AlexNet and Resnet-50, to classify 20 indigenous fresh-water fish species from the North-Eastern parts of India. The two models are fine-tuned for training and validation of the collected fish data. The performance of these networks is evaluated based on overall accuracy, precision, and recall rate. This paper reports the best overall classification accuracy, precision, and recall rate of 100% at a learning rate of 0.001 by the Resnet-50 model on our own dataset and benchmark Fish-Pak dataset. Comprehensive empirical analysis has proved that with an increasing Weight and Bias learning rate, the validation loss incurred by the classifier also increases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
