Tethered fish data collection and species classification: Prince William Sound bottomfish

This paper describes the first classification results with the first broadband sonar fish identification system prototype that was built by Scientific Fishery Systems, Inc. Two species of fish and the bottom were used in a set of classifier experiments using two different sets of features -echo shape and echo spectra. The author would describe where the data was collected, review the data collection methodology that was used, and provide a summary of the data that was collected. The author would then define the features that were extracted and the classification results that were attained with these features. The author would conclude with summary discussion of areas for future work.
