Abstract
Fish behavior monitoring is crucial for fish farmers to obtain growth information, improve aquatic product quality, and adjust aquaculture strategies. However, the small size, severe occlusion, and similar behavior of fish pose challenges for identifying abnormal behavior. Therefore, this study proposes an abnormal behavior detection method based on PUFFER-DETR. Using the TripletAttention backbone network, the ability of the model to extract features of fish swarm behavior and individual fish behavior in turbid water has been improved. Furthermore, weight calculation is performed on the similar behavioral characteristics between individual fish and the behavioral characteristics of the fish groups to obtain a relationship feature map of similar behavior. Cross-scale feature fusion is performed using SHS-FPN, and the similarity behavior features of individual fish are adjusted to avoid the loss of similarity behavior features during the feature fusion process. Experimental results indicate that PUFFER-DETR achieved the best fusion accuracy at a speed of 127.9 frames per second, with an average accuracy of 92.8 %. This method can accurately detect abnormal behavior of fish and assist aquaculture personnel in judging the growth status of fish.

期刊介绍:
Aquacultural Engineering is concerned with the design and development of effective aquacultural systems for marine and freshwater facilities. The journal aims to apply the knowledge gained from basic research which potentially can be translated into commercial operations.
Problems of scale-up and application of research data involve many parameters, both physical and biological, making it difficult to anticipate the interaction between the unit processes and the cultured animals. Aquacultural Engineering aims to develop this bioengineering interface for aquaculture and welcomes contributions in the following areas:
– Engineering and design of aquaculture facilities
– Engineering-based research studies
– Construction experience and techniques
– In-service experience, commissioning, operation
– Materials selection and their uses
– Quantification of biological data and constraints
