Acoustic tags versus camera—a case study on feeding behaviour of European seabass in sea cages by I-Hao Chen, I-Hao Chen, Dimitra G. Georgopoulou, Lars O. E. Ebbesson, Dimitris Voskakis, Antonella Zanna Munthe-Kaas, Nikos Papandroulakis

“…However, the relationship between those two different measurement types seems to have not been explored, nor have they been evaluated together in one experimental site.MethodsIn our 1-month study, we compared the activity of 14 sentinel fish and the artificial intelligence (AI)-inferred speed of individuals from the European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) sea cage population in three feeding trials. Comparisons include a maximum activity comparison using persistent peaks, fish behavioural pattern establishment and retention, and periodical behavioural patterns.ResultsOur results demonstrate that under certain circumstances, both technologies are interchangeable from the perspective of persistent peaks and periodicity, but complementary when it comes to behaviour analysis such as food anticipatory behaviour (FAB).DiscussionWe anticipate that our findings will stimulate advances where multiple sensor types are in use to achieve a more holistic understanding of fish behaviour in the aquaculture sector using underwater technologies.…”
