This project aims to develop a non-invasive ultrasound technique to assess the sex and gonadal maturity of Asian Sea Bass, critical for brackishwater aquaculture. By using deep learning for image processing, this method provides a stress-free way to monitor gonadal stages, improving the reproductive success of brooders. The system uses techniques such as segmentation, feature extraction, transfer learning, and GANs to classify gonadal stages with high accuracy, and its results are validated with histology data.
