How to Use the Roboflow Fish Detection API

Detecting fish using computer vision is a practical application that can assist in identifying fish species, measuring populations, and monitoring aquatic environments. Roboflow offers a free fish detection model capable of recognizing seven classes of aquatic life, which can be expanded with additional annotated images. Users can test and deploy the model using the Roboflow Universe, an open-source platform with extensive datasets and models. The guide explains how to utilize the Roboflow Python SDK to run inference on local images, retrieve prediction data in JSON format, and visually represent these predictions. The fish detection API is versatile, enabling applications such as species monitoring, population counting, and predator detection, with Roboflow providing tools to enhance model performance through data labeling and augmentation.
