Abstract
Cryogenic waterless live transport (CWLT) is widely regarded as a green, efficient and low-carbon transportation strategy, which can ensure a certain degree of fish survival rates, enhance water resource utilisation and reduce transportation costs. This study focuses on the pearl gentian grouper, integrating multi-modal sensors, deep learning and cross-modal data fusion techniques for non-destructive vitality recognition during the live transport process. Changes in fish surface and physiological characteristics were captured based on multi-modal sensors. A cross-modal vitality recognition network (CmVRNet) was developed based on cross-modal data fusion and multi-input deep learning techniques. The enhanced whale optimisation algorithm based on multi-strategy fusion (EWOAm) was developed to optimise hyperparameters of the model (EWOAm-CmVRNet). The results showed that: (1) Cluster analysis classified physiological status of the grouper into four categories: high vitality (HV), medium vitality (MV), weak vitality (WV) and near death (ND), with significant differences between physiological data of fish with different vitality levels but the same size (P < 0.05); (2) EWOAm demonstrated significant performance, successfully addressing shortcomings of the standard WOA and outperforming other comparison algorithms, achieving a balance between global exploration and local search; (3) EWOAm-CmVRNet showed excellent vitality recognition performance. For large groupers, the model achieved the average precision of 93.74 %, average recall of 93.89 %, average F1 score of 93.81 %, average specificity of 97.88 % and average accuracy of 93.69 %; (4) The EWOAm-CmVRNet model, which is constructed based on cross-modal data, outperformed other single-modal vitality recognition models. This study aims to provide technical support to enhance market competitiveness of live aquatic products.
