Abstract
An optical system for immersion underwater in an aquaculture environment. The optical system captures, in situ, digital images of underwater objects such as freely swimming fish such as, for example, sea salmon or sea trout, as the fish swim naturally in the aquaculture environment. The digital images produced by the optical system are of enough quality such that reliable detection of sea lice in different life stages by a human visual inspection of the digital image or by computer vision systems is enabled.
