In a recent study, researchers captured over 120,000 images of salmon lice larvae in seawater to train artificial intelligence models. The results were remarkable.

The AI models not only outperformed experienced biologists in terms of speed but also in accuracy when identifying the parasites that feed on fish skin.

This advancement underscores the potential of AI technology in enhancing biological research and monitoring marine ecosystems.
