Problem
Unreported catch in fisheries accounts for a significant portion of total fish caught, hindering effective management and sustainability efforts. Traditional fisheries monitoring methods are often expensive, labor-intensive, and lack the scalability needed to address this issue comprehensively.
Solution
OnDeck develops AI-powered software designed for automatic fisheries monitoring, providing real-time data on marine life and fishing activities. Their technology enables universal species identification without requiring retraining for new species and generalizes across various cameras, conditions, and environments (above or below water). The system facilitates affordable, accessible, and faster fisheries data collection for governments, Indigenous nations, and commercial fishers, addressing the challenges of unreported catch and promoting sustainable practices.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes governments, Indigenous nations, and commercial fishers seeking affordable and scalable solutions for fisheries data collection and monitoring.
Features
- Universal species identification capable of classifying any marine life without retraining.
- Generalization across diverse camera types, environmental conditions, and aquatic settings.
- Search functionality for specific events, objects, or species within extensive image and video datasets.
- Automatic fisheries monitoring delivering real-time data on fishing activities.
