# Welcome to SUBSIM - the Swedish national platform for analysis of subsea images. 



## Launch event upcoming!

We are happy to announce the inauguration of the Swedish national platform for analysis of subsea images (SUBSIM). 

When: Tuesday, 9th April 2024, 09.00-14.00
Where: Wallenberg Center, Gothenburg

Program: We give an introduction and technical overview to SUBSIM, followed by an outline of the user support and short presentations of scientific cases from the fields of marine conservation, invasion biology, aquaculture and climate change. There will also be enough time for questions, feedback, and discussions. 

Register: If you want to join the event, use the  SUBSIM in the near future, or simply want to know more about it, please send an email to matthias.obst@marine.gu.se Space is very limited!

This infrastructure project develops an open-source platform for subsea image analysis to support research and monitoring in marine ecosystems. Our services provide essential functions for machine learning, data management, and digital collaboration in an high-performance computing environment. Together, these functions enable scientists to extract species and habitat information from underwater images. SUBSIM’s image analysis services are gradually integrated with national and global e-infrastructures such as the [Swedish Biodiversity Data Infrastructure](www.biodiversitydata.se) and the [Digital Twin of the Ocean](https://dto-bioflow.eu). Below you find continuous updates of the recent development of the platform.

## All information is now available at www.subsim.se

We have a new challenge for you, called “GobyTrack”. Here, we need your help to monitor the spread of an invasive fish along the Swedish coastline. In order to achieve this goal we need you to identify fish and crab species in our movies. One of these species is especially interesting – the invasive round goby (Neogobius melanostomus), a small, bottom dwelling fish that causes ecological havoc in Swedish waters. Your identifications will help us to train machine-learning algorithms which will then automatically search the water for this fish in the future. Your data will directly contribute to marine ecological research and ecosystem management in Sweden! How does that sound, interesting? Well, then let's get started and click the "Fish ID" button below. The "Tutorial" will guide you through the identification process.
