• Abstract summary: We developed a novel approach to automate weight estimation and morphometric analysis using the black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) as a model crustacean. For morphometric analyses, we utilized the detected landmarks to derive five important prawn traits. Our experimental results demonstrate that the novel DL approach outperforms existing DL methods in terms of accuracy, robustness, and efficiency.

• Abstract: Accurate weight estimation and morphometric analyses are useful in aquaculture for optimizing feeding, predicting harvest yields, identifying desirable traits for selective breeding, grading processes, and monitoring the health status of production animals. However, the collection of phenotypic data through traditional manual approaches at industrial scales and in real-time is time-consuming, labour-intensive, and prone to errors. Digital imaging of individuals and subsequent training of prediction models using Deep Learning (DL) has the potential to rapidly and accurately acquire phenotypic data from aquaculture species. In this study, we applied a novel DL approach to automate weight estimation and morphometric analysis using the black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) as a model crustacean. The DL approach comprises two main components: a feature extraction module that efficiently combines low-level and high-level features using the Kronecker product operation; followed by a landmark localization module that then uses these features to predict the coordinates of key morphological points (landmarks) on the prawn body. Once these landmarks were extracted, weight was estimated using a weight regression module based on the extracted landmarks using a fully connected network. For morphometric analyses, we utilized the detected landmarks to derive five important prawn traits. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was also used to identify landmark-derived distances, which were found to be highly correlated with shape features such as body length, and width. We evaluated our approach on a large dataset of 8164 images of the Black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) collected from Australian farms. Our experimental results demonstrate that the novel DL approach outperforms existing DL methods in terms of accuracy, robustness, and efficiency.
