Abstract
The fishing and fish product industries worldwide are facing tremendous challenges from higher health testing requirements as well as overriding manpower costs and increased unavailability. This chapter describes the main automation possibilities in these industries focusing on the use of computer vision and robots. The advantages and disadvantages of applying these technologies in the fishing industry are highlighted. The specific implementation context, performance required, optical and physical characteristics of fish species, as well as environmental aspects are stressed. New applications and the technological needs of fish sorting, handling and inspection are discussed. Section 2.4 lists the main robotic and vision systems available to the fishing industry today. Finally future potentials in the fishing industry are discussed.
