However, few of these works have been applied to marine organisms. In this paper we develop an ATI system for identifying Actynopterigian species from their otolith contour; this is important information for the palaeontological, ictiological and ecological sciences, especially in food web studies. The AFORO website comprises the first web-based automated species identification system based exclusively on otolith shape outline. Species are identified iteratively based on a multiscale representation of the otolith contour. The ATI system is very easy to use as it only requires uploading a suitably oriented otolith image on a black background. Two tests were carried out with a database of 1480 images of left sacullar otoliths (sagittae) from 420 species. The first test analysed 50 different otoliths, 10 per species, from 5 different species. The second test identified 50 otoliths, each from a different species. The two tests obtained similar results (percentage of correct identifications): 72% of specimens were correctly identified at species level, and the percentage increased to 90% at genus level and reached 94% at family level. The best results are obtained for species which have an otolith contour with a very specific morphology, such as the mackerel Scomber colias, and the less efficient results for species with common shaped otoliths with unclear specific characteristics, such as the Mediterranean horse-mackerel Trachurus mediterraneus, or species with large morphological variability between individuals, such as Lophius budegassa or Synodus saurus | Description: | 8 pages, 1 figure, 4 tables | Publisher version (URL): | https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fishres.2010.02.005 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/26586 | DOI: | 10.1016/j.fishres.2010.02.005 | ISSN: | 0165-7836 |
