Automation of species recognition and size measurement of fish from underwater stereo-video imagery. The project aims to develop algorithms to automate the processing of stereo-video images recorded to count and measure the size of fish. This will improve husbandry and monitoring for finfish aquaculture at reduced costs, create technology export for industry partners, and develop cost effective, non-destructive finfish sampling tools for marine agencies.
Decoding the rules of fate, attraction and cell migration in perciform fish. This project will interrogate primordial germ cell migration to reveal new insights into the molecular basis of cell migration and chemosensory communication. Key residues needed for ligand-receptor binding and environmental impacts on migration will be investigated with valuable implications in reproductive developmental biology and applied science.
