vessels in the Eastern and South Pacific and of Latin America, Eastern North Pacific, and the Arabian Sea. Recent hardware
improvements combined with an optimized Artificial Intelligence algorithm and improved web platform have increased the detection
rates and accuracy of various classes of bycatch (average score =∼ 85 − 90% ) while reducing dependency on human observers at
a 5-25% of its cost. Shellcatch is looking to build collaborative partnerships with the scientific community in different parts of the
world to test the accuracy of its system and further develop system functionality.
