Electronic Monitoring Systems and use of AI in fisheries

The ancient craft of fishing is standing at the edge of a technological revolution. This film explores the future possibility of using advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) to solve one of the ocean's biggest challenges: accurate data. We detail the system of Electronic Monitoring (EM)—cameras, sensors, and GPS—that can be installed on fishing vessels to create a complete, unbiased record of every trip. This technology is already gathering the vast mountains of video data that will one day be analyzed by powerful deep learning models. Imagine the potential: an AI algorithm trained to act as an expert marine biologist, instantly performing species recognition and precisely measuring the length and weight of every fish in the catch. This level of detail will be vital, transforming the "chaos of the catch" into the precise information needed to power the most sophisticated marine science models. The future application of this technology is clear: it will empower fishers with verifiable data to prove sustainability and provide scientists with real-time insights for smarter regulations. By facing challenges like occlusion and technical hurdles, we are charting a new course—one that replaces guesswork with certainty and builds a future where thriving fishing communities and healthy oceans are a shared reality. This is the pathway to a truly sustainable harvest from the sea. Author: Samitha Thilakarathna (msam@aqua.dtu.dk) Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/samitha-thilakarathna
