Alphabet’s X launches Tidal to automatically track and log fish behavior

Alphabet's X has unveiled its next "moonshot project" -- an effort to improve ocean health by tracking and logging fish behavior over time.

What potential do you see for the future uses of this technology? Do you think it would have any potential uses in a reef aquarium?

Tidal leverages an underwater camera system and machine perception tools to “detect and interpret” fish behavior that may not be obvious to the human eye. The system monitors fish to look at how they eat, for example, while also collecting relevant environmental data, such as water temperature and oxygen levels.

Sorry for the confusion - I have updated the link in the initial post to one that should now be viewable without a subscription.

This is interesting but I guess they aren’t really tracking reef fishes which is what we generally keep - and don’t eat. I guess we could learn more about fish eating habits in general. I’d be interested in the aspect of how their eating behavior changes when they spawn. Perhaps this will help aquacultured fish breeders

Very interesting read. This will definitely lead to a broader understanding of what is going on to our oceans, and hopefully help make changes that will help remedy the pollution as well.
