Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for sorting fish in aquaculture. In some implementations, one or more images are obtained of a particular fish within a population of fish. Based on the one or more images of the fish, a data element is determined. The data element can include a first value that reflects a physical characteristic of the particular fish, and a second value that reflects a condition factor of the particular fish. Based on the data element, the fish is classified as a member of a particular subpopulation of the population of fish. An actuator of an automated fish sorter is controlled based on classifying the particular fish as a member of the particular subpopulation of the population of fish.

A method for external fish parasite monitoring in aquaculture, comprising the steps of: submerging a camera (52) in a sea pen containing fish, the camera having a field of view; capturing images of the fish with the camera (52); and identifying external fish parasite on the fish by analyzing the captured images, characterized in that a target region within the field of view of the camera (52) is illuminated from above and below with light of different intensities and/or spectral compositions.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for automatic object detection for underwater cameras. In some implementations, an underwater camera captures many images which are obtained by a control unit. The control unit can detect one or more contours within a captured image based on values representing pixels of the image, generate a representation of the image based on the detected contours, provide the representation to a model that is trained to classify an input image as including a net or as not including a net, and perform an action based on classifying the image as including a net.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for underwater camera biomass prediction aggregation. In some implementations, an exemplary method includes obtaining images of fish captured by an underwater camera; providing data of the images to a trained model; obtaining output of the trained model indicating the likelihoods that the biomass of fish are within multiple ranges; combining likelihoods of the output based on one or more ranges common to likelihoods of two or more fish to generate a biomass distribution; and determining an action based on the biomass distribution.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for underwater feed movement detection. In one aspect, the method may include the actions of obtaining images captured at different time points, where the images are captured by a camera and indicate feed that has been dispersed by a feeder for aquatic livestock inside an enclosure; determining, for each image, respective locations of the feed indicated by the image; determining, from the respective locations of the feed, a respective movement of the feed over the different time points; determining, based on the respective feed movement of the feed over the different time points, water current movement within the enclosure for the aquatic livestock; and outputting an indication of the water current movement.
