Machine Learning fish passage results promising but can it stop another ecological disaster?
The $6.5 million Menindee fish passage trial is now in year two and results are promising, but not everyone is buoyed by confidence in the project’s ability to prevent another mass fish kill.
Using Machine Learning to identify and transport native species from the Darling River in far west New South Wales into the Menindee Lakes, results have so far proved promising.
Fishheart’s Mika Sohlberg said the technology allowed fish to pass obstacles like roads, weirs and dams and complete their migratory life cycle and find spawning areas further north.
