Vision-based egg quality prediction in Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) by deep neural network

Abstract Closed-cycle aquaculture using hatchery produced seed stocks is vital to the sustainability of endangered species such as Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis) because this aquaculture system does not depend on aquaculture seeds collected from the wild. High egg quality promotes efficie...
