A Machine Learning Approach for Protected Species Bycatch Estimation
April 17, 2024
A machine learning approach that can improve bycatch estimates for rare specie.
Monitoring bycatch of protected species is a fisheries management priority. In practice, protected species bycatch is difficult to precisely or accurately estimate with commonly used ratio estimators or parametric, linear model-based methods. Machine-learning algorithms have been proposed as means of overcoming some of the analytical hurdles in estimating protected species bycatch.
