University of Victoria Uses Machine Learning to Identify Sounds of Eight B.C. Fish Species
Researchers used underwater audio and machine learning to identify eight fish species by their unique sounds for conservation and fisheries monitoring in B.C., said Lancaster.
- On Jan. 9, 2026, University of Victoria researchers identified unique underwater sounds for eight species off Bamfield, published last month in the Journal of Fish Biology.
- The research team plans to study whether fish have regional 'accents' or 'dialects' by sampling different B.C. regions and noted some species have never been recorded making these sounds.
- Using a machine-learning model, researchers paired underwater audio and video recordings to identify calls for eight fish species, noting copper rockfish made knocks while chasing prey.
