Abstract

Fish estimation apparatus for counting fish (1), the apparatus comprising: an inlet (10) for feeding fish into the apparatus; an outlet (11) for discharging fish from the apparatus; a sliding platform (12) connecting the inlet and the outlet, wherein the sliding platform is configured to allow fish to slide by gravity from the inlet and the outlet; the sliding platform wherein comprises a length (12A) and a width (12B), the length being defined along a direction from the inlet to the outlet; two side walls (12C, 12D) extending in the length direction, the width of the sliding platform being defined by the two side walls; and an unobstructed sliding surface spanning the width of the sliding platform and configured to allow unrestrained movement of fish in the length direction and in the width direction of the sliding platform; the apparatus further comprising a video camera (13) arranged overlooking the sliding platform such that the field of view of the video camera spans across the whole width of the unobstructed sliding surface; and a controller device configured to obtain a video sequence from the video camera; and to determine an estimation of a number of fish sliding along the sliding platform, based on the obtained video sequence. A method for estimating fish comprises the steps of providing such a fish estimation apparatus; providing fish at the inlet of the apparatus; and estimating a number of fish sliding down the sliding platform.
