Ocean observatories collect large volumes of video data, with some data archives now spanning well over a few decades, and bringing the challenges analytical capacity beyond conventional processing tools. The analysis such vast complex datasets can only be achieved appropriate machine learning Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementation AI monitoring programs for animal tracking classification ...

Abstract Prey communities in the North Pacific Ocean have been disrupted by marine heatwaves, and reductions forage fishes had notable impacts on upper‐trophic‐level consumers. Little is known about potential effects of a changing prey base for some commercially valuable fishes, such as Sablefish Anoplopoma fimbria . The objectives this study were to evaluate temporal age‐based shifts diets juv...

Contrast degradation theory predicts that increased turbidity decreases the visibility of objects that are visible at longer distances more than that of objects that are visible at short distances. Consequently, turbidity should disproportionately decrease feeding rates by piscivorous fish, which feed on larger and more visible prey than particle-feeding planktivorous fish. We tested this predi...
