The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) says it has developed a mobile application, “Matsya Metri,” to measure fish length and width without touching the fish. The app is designed to help fisheries scientists and field teams collect biological measurements more quickly and systematically.
According to the institute and related reporting, the application supports the automated generation of standardised length-frequency data. This data is used for fisheries stock assessment and management, and it is aimed at improving how measurement information is recorded during surveys. Both sources describe the app as part of a project focused on automated measurement of aquatic resources, with emphasis on non-contact use and standardised data collection.
While both outlets agree on the app’s purpose and non-contact measurement claim, they differ slightly in what they foreground. One highlights the app’s role in rapid and systematic collection of biological data for assessment and management, while the other focuses on the generation of standardised length-frequency information under an automated measurement project.
