INCOIS working on AI, ML for species specific potential fish advisories

Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) is carrying out research activities with Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) based data driven modelling for generating species specific Potential Fishing Zone (PFZ) advisors for commercial important fish species such as sardine, mackerel and hilsa. The institute, under the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), has been issuing daily bulletins for fishermen across coastal States with its PFZ advisories where the probable location of the fish is indicated saving money, fuel and time in their work.
