FishSoundFinder is an open-source software tool that uses machine learning to automatically detect fish sounds in passive acoustic recordings. It helps Fisheries and Oceans Canada scientists estimate fish presence without disturbing aquatic environments. The system does not collect or process any personal information. It was developed using fish sound data collected in British Columbia and has been tested in regions including Florida.
