Zusammenfassung:Real-time estimation of fish growth offers multiple benefits in indoor aquaculture, including reduced labor, lower operational costs, improved feeding efficiency, and optimized harvesting schedules. This study presents a low-cost, vision-based method for estimating the body length and weight of olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in tank environments. A 5 × 5 cm reference grid is placed on the tank bottom, and images are captured using two fixed-position RGB smartphone cameras. Pixel measurements from the images are converted into millimeters using a calibrated pixel-to-length relationship. The system calculates fish length by detecting contour extremities and applying Lagrange interpolation. Based on the estimated length, body weight is derived using a power regression model. Accuracy was validated using both manual length measurements and Bland–Altman analysis, which indicated a mean bias of −0.007 cm and 95% limits of agreement from −0.475 to +0.462 cm, confirming consistent agreement between methods. The mean absolute error (MAE) and mean squared error (MSE) were 0.11 cm and 0.025 cm2, respectively. While optimized for benthic species such as olive flounder, this system is not suitable for free-swimming species. Overall, it provides a practical and scalable approach for non-invasive monitoring of fish growth in commercial indoor aquaculture.
