💙🎣 This video explains what we do in #RControl - which seeks to place Norway at the forefront of research and development of core technology for effective and sustainable resource control in commercial fishery.🌊🌍 #SINTEF

Exciting News from OptiFish! 🐠 Check out our new blog post on the OptiFish consortium! Learn how marine biologists and environmental scientists work seamlessly together to enhance onboard monitoring of catch volume. 🔗 https://t.co/XYSX6gBysS #HorizonEurope #ResearchImpactEU

By monitoring these metrics, researchers are able to decide when the model reaches acceptable performance, or if it needs more training - and perhaps a larger, more robust training dataset. 🦾🤖

Both are important, as they balance each other out. Balancing precision and recall is crucial for creating an effective and reliable AI model. 🙌 #deeplearning #innovation #AIgenerated #fisheries #fisheriesscience #oceanscience #RControl

Two performance metrics are used for this, "Precision" and "Recall". Precision says how much of the predicted positive instances are actually correct. Recall, on the other hand, measures the models ability to find all positive cases within the dataset. ⚖

After each iteration of the training dataset, it will test its performance on the validation dataset, giving us a view of how good the model performs on new, unseen data. 📊

How are AI models assessed during training? 🤖 When a model is trained on data through machine learning, it is usually also tested on a small proportion of the training data, which is called the "validation dataset". 📸: AI generated image by DALLE 3 #AI #machinelearning

We hope you got to celebrate World Ocean Day yesterday!🥳🐙🐠 June 8th is an important day for raising awareness and ensuring collective action for healthier oceans. This is a major goal for #RControl, ensuring that new technology is used for the betterment of our #ocean. 🌍💙

In this debate-article published in Fiskeribladet (The Fisheries Magazine), Asgeir J. Sørensen (NTNU, UiT) and Jørgen Berge (UiT) discuss the potentials and problems with employing AI for marine science. 🌊🐟🎣

In fact, during years when the sandeel population is low, fishing of the species is strictly forbidden. ✖ This helps the population grow, and conserves the North Sea ecosystem. 🧐👍

This is especially important considering the North Sea, where the sandeel is a keystone species - important for the structure and the stability of the entire ecosystem. #fisheriesfact #norwegianfish #fishfacts #marinebiology #fisheriesbiology

Norway has one of the largest fisheries of sandeel. Up until 2003, it was a mostly unregulated fishery - but now it is strictly regulated both internationally, and within the country. This has helped lead to an increase in the sandeel population with higher recruitment. 🤩📈

During the winter, it actually hibernates in the sand - and just like a bear, will sleep during the cold season! 🐻 #RControl #fisheries

Under the comfort of the sand, it sleeps during the night. When morning comes, the sandeel emerges from its sandy hole, to eat - a diet mostly consisting of copepods, fish eggs, and fish-larvae 🦐🐟.

The lesser sandeel (Ammodytes marinus) is an elongated, small fish inhabiting the North Atlantic Ocean. It lives near sandy bottoms, where it spends most of its time burrowed under the sand! 🌊🏖 📸: A burrowed #sandeel (By the Institute of Marine Research, Norway)

Global Fishing Watch employs an AI model which uses an advanced algorithm analyzing huge amounts of data to uncover these illegal activities. Read more about this in the article above from BBC!🛳️ #endiuufishing #RControl #BBC #SINTEF #AI #machinelearning #innovation #fisheries

Did you know that AI can be used to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing?🎣❌🤖 IUU fishing contributes to as much as 20% of total catches, a worrisome pattern contributing to overfishing and imbalance in marine ecosystems. 📉 https://t.co/mmq3Su0YCg

Can we fish the mesopelagic zone? 🎣👀 In this recently published news-article from @MongabayOrg you can see the latest views, and current state of mesopelagic fisheries from both fishers and researchers! 👩‍🔬🛥️ #summerh2020 #mesopelagic #mesopelagicfish https://t.co/txhGHB4TW1

Currently, the #quota for shrimp is very low, at only 3530 tons. However, catches so far have been good, which may indicate a better quota for next year.📊
