Annotated fish imagery data for individual and species recognition with deep learning

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 03:12 AM | Dataset Last Updated: July 26, 2021 at 12:00 AM
We provide annotated fish imagery data for use in deep learning models (e.g., convolutional neural networks) for individual and species recognition. For individual recognition models, the dataset consists of annotated .json files of individual brook trout imagery collected at the Eastern Ecological Science Center's Experimental Stream Laboratory. For species recognition models, the dataset consists of annotated .json files for 7 freshwater fish species: lake trout, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, brook trout, rainbow trout, walleye, and northern pike. Species imagery was compiled from Anglers Atlas and modified to remove human faces for privacy protection. We used open-source VGG image annotation software developed by Oxford University: https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/software/via/via-1.0.6.html.
