Taylor, I seem to remember that Corrado Costa, from Rome, has done
work on fishes related to fisheries including (possibly) a system for
automatic recognition of different categories.
Corrado should be on the list and might answer himself(and correct my
possibly misleading memories on his work).
It will easy, anyway, to find his email address in one of the many
papers he wrote.
Good luck
Andrea
