CARBON FOOTPRINT REDUCTION VIA CETACEAN PROTECTION
A system may include a memory and a processor in communication with the memory. The processor may be configured to perform operations. The operations may include collecting organism data and analyzing the organism data. The operations may also include predicting a organism movement pattern based on the organism data and relaying the organism movement pattern to a participant.
Organism Monitoring Devices and Organism Monitoring Methods
Organism monitoring systems and devices and associated monitoring methods are described. According to one aspect, an organism monitoring device configured to be associated with an organism to be monitored includes a housing, a battery coupled with the housing, wherein the battery is configured to store electrical energy, a transmitter coupled with the housing and the battery, wherein the transmitter is configured to emit a wireless signal externally of the organism monitoring device and the organism being monitored, sensor circuitry coupled with the housing and the battery, wherein the sensor circuitry is configured to monitor an environment of the organism monitoring device, and control circuitry coupled with the housing, the sensor circuitry and the battery, and wherein the control circuitry is configured to adjust an operation of the organism monitoring device as a result of monitoring of the environment of the organism monitoring device by the sensor circuitry.

SIZE ESTIMATION DEVICE, SIZE ESTIMATION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
The size estimation device 5 is provided with an estimation unit 51 and a calculation unit 52. The estimation unit 51 estimates, on the basis of a learning model which learns the feature of a first underwater creature body that faces one direction in an image captured in the water, a first feature point that indicates one end in a one direction side of a second underwater creature body that faces a one direction included in an image captured outside and a second feature point that indicates the other end. The calculation unit 52 calculates information indicating the size of the second underwater creature body on the basis of information including the first feature point and the second feature point.

System to Identify and Isolate Selected Crustaceans Using Flipping Device to View Ventral Surface
A system and method to determine whether a crustacean meets a selected criterion such as whether a crab is in pre-molt condition. The crustacean is flipped by passing it through a substantially “U” shaped tube. An image is obtained while the crustacean is inverted, and automated image analysis techniques are utilized to make the determination so that the crustacean can be diverted appropriately.
