Peru_Copepods_from_yolov5 Computer Vision Project

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Marine Biodiversity Research: Use the Peru_Copepods_from_yolov5 model to analyze plankton samples in various marine ecosystems in Peru, contributing to a better understanding of local marine biodiversity and the distribution of plankton species, including copepods.

2. Environmental Monitoring: Incorporate the model into aquatic monitoring programs to track the abundance and composition of copepod populations as indicators of water quality and ecosystem health, given their sensitivity to environmental changes such as temperature fluctuations and pollution.

3. Aquaculture Management: Utilize the model to monitor copepod populations and their spatial distribution in aquaculture facilities. This could assist in managing copepod-based live feed for fish species in the facility, improving overall production rates, and reducing reliance on artificial feeds.

4. Climate Change Impact Assessment: Implement the model to study the effects of climate change on copepod and plankton populations in Peru's marine ecosystems, detecting shifts in distribution, range, and abundance patterns that may be driven by changing ocean conditions.

5. Educational Resource: Integrate the Peru_Copepods_from_yolov5 model into educational materials, allowing students and researchers to enhance their knowledge on copepods and planktons while learning about computer vision technologies and their applications in marine biology.
