FinVision
NEW FOOTAGE UPLOADED! Help us to identify juvenile fish in their essential habitats! Also note - this project recently migrated onto Zooniverse’s new architecture. For details, see here.
There is 1 workflow on this page.
The FinVision Video Clips workflow displays video footage and asks you to identify fish or anything else of interest. Click this workflow to get started.
There is no limit to the number of videos you can analyse and your data saves automatically! You can work on this project on your phone or on your laptop/PC, it works just as well!

About FinVision
Even big fish were small once! Can you spot them?
Our project page is very similar to real fishing! You may not see a fish all the time, but when you do, we want to know all about it. Don't be alarmed if you haven't seen a fish for a while as there might not be many, but every individual is important to our research!
Help us to identify the young fish before they reach adulthood by analysing footage from our new juvenile habitat monitoring camera (the JHaM-Cam). Understanding essential juvenile habitats are critical for effective fisheries management and you can be a part of it here!
Our goal is to make an AI based software, trained by your analysis of our videos and images, that can automatically detect both the presence and size of juvenile fish in their natural habitat. Together, we will be able to answer burning questions in marine biology and understand the habitat requirements of fish at their most vulnerable life stages.
What is FinVision?
FinVision is a collaborative partnership led by the University of Plymouth with the Angling Trust, Southern IFCA, the Institute of Fisheries Management, Bass Anglers’ Sportfishing Society, National Mullet Club and the Association of IFCAs, funded by Defra’s Fisheries Industry Science Partnership which will deploy underwater cameras in key coastal and estuarine habitats in the south west, such as Plymouth Sound Marine National Park. FinVision aims to learn more about the preferred habitat of recreationally and commercially important species during their juvenile life stages.
