Catfish Classification Computer Vision Project

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Environmental Monitoring: The model can be used by environmental agencies and fish and wildlife departments for species monitoring in Maryland's rivers, lakes, and streams. This can be vital in ensuring biodiversity, tracking endangered species, or controlling invasive species.

2. Fishing Regulation Enforcement: Regulatory authorities can use this model to ensure that recreational or commercial fishing activities comply with rules pertaining to specific catfish species, aiding in the sustainable management of these fish populations.

3. Biodiversity Studies: Biologists and ecologists can use the model during field studies to quickly and accurately identify various catfish species, aiding in habitat research, population studies or in the assessment of species' health.

4. Aquariums & Educational Institutes: Aquariums, zoos, schools, and museums can utilize the model in interactive exhibits to provide guests or students with instant information about different catfish species, promoting educational engagement.

5. Fishing Apps Development: The model can be integrated into recreational fishing applications to automatically identify the type of catfish caught, enhancing users' fishing experience and knowledge about the species they are catching.
