Calanus-2 Computer Vision Project

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Zooplankton Studies: "Calanus-2" could be utilized in academic and research settings to improve the identification of different calanus species in zooplankton samples. This could help in understanding their population dynamics, growth rates, and behavior patterns.

2. Environmental Monitoring: This model can be used to monitor the health and population of calanus in various water bodies. Variations in calanus populations can verify the impact of environmental changes, pollution, or invasive species.

3. Aquaculture and Fishery Management: The model could be employed in fisheries research to identify the availability of food (i.e., calanus), critical for various fish species. Training on accurate identification of calanus could enhance fisheries management and sustainable practices.

4. Marine Ecosystem Modelling: "Calanus-2" could facilitate the construction of more accurate marine food web models, particularly those involving calanus as a crucial primary consumer.

5. Climate Change Studies: It could be informative in climate change studies, as changes in calanus populations and distribution patterns may indicate variations in water temperatures or other climate-related factors affecting the oceans.
