Deep learning-based approach for recognition of local fish

Bangladesh is a riverine country with thousands of rivers and ponds. Bangladesh, being a fish-loving nation, is considered one of the most suitable areas for fish culture. People of this generation in Bangladesh usually fail to recognise the local freshwater fish. Performing a classification of freshwater fish can help people recognise the local fish of Bangladesh. In this way, a vital part of the cultural heritage of Bangladesh can be retained. In this paper, a number of local freshwater fish are classified based on their characteristics. For this reason, we take a purpose for identifying fish. For our experiment, we have used a total of 6,000 images of ten local freshwater fish. We have used four convolutional neural network models,…
