Smart Fenotypering - automatisering av datainnsamling for avl

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

To keep the improvement in the breeding for each salmon generation we need good quality phenotypes. What are good quality phenotypes? The measurements should be objective, similar from time to time, and similar from processing plant to processing plant. And what do we measure? Weight, length, skin colour, gills, lice count, maturation, yield, filet color etc. Why do we want to improve? There are 3 objectives: improve efficiency, improve accuracy and develop prediction. 1- Efficiency – higher throughput, more individuals 2- Accuracy – Objective, high quality measurements, keeping humans out of the loop if possible 3 - Prediction – Predict future phenotypes, predict phenotypes such as yield, filet color by external measurements.
