The project goes beyond the existing systems. More sustainable fisheries thanks to fully documented fishery It also provides valuable data for fisheries management. The tool automatically recognises the size and species and of each fish, facilitating the handling of fish and recording of catches on board vessels. Researchers from Wageningen University and Research (WUR) in the Netherlands have joined forces with the Dutch fishing industry to develop an AI-based tool, funded by the EU. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) comes in. In the EU, fishers must register all catches and bring them to shore (land), which takes up time, space and is very costly. The problem of unwanted catches has always been present in fisheries.
With the help of EU funding, Dutch researchers and fishing industry have developed an AI-based tool for the Fully Documented Fisheries (FDF) project.
