Abstract
An underwater camera system for monitoring fish in a fish pen is described. A stereoscopic camera may be used to determine dimensions of fish, and the underwater camera system may use the fish dimensions to estimate a biomass value of fish within the fish pen. The biomass value and rates of change of the biomass value may be used to adjust feeding of the fish in the fish pen. Images captured by the stereoscopic camera may be used to focus a variable focal lens camera on a fish to obtain high-resolution images that can be used for diagnosing fish conditions. Images captured by the stereoscopic camera may be used to predict motion of the fish, and the predicted motion may be used to generate various fish monitoring analytic values. The fish monitoring analytic values may be used to automatically control operation of the fish pen.
