Abstract
The demand for aquaculture tools have been increasing due to the rising needs for fish. Several factors show the potential requirements for software solutions. For instance, the continual market value growth of fish, government focus on innovative technologies and research on increasing fish production. The Aquatic Tool Kit aims to calculate the total number of larval and juvenile fish through image processing techniques. Furthermore, it intends to address existing issues during fish counting which has lead to poor accuracy rates and high margins of error. Edge detection and basic morphology tools are utilized to segment and identify fish larvae from acquired images. A preliminary experiment shows a potentially high accuracy rate when detecting larvae and ants.
