"What kind of fish is this? As soon as you wonder, take the picture of it, upload it to the photo AI. It will immediately give you a candidate fish species. and it will give you a list of possible fish species. If the AI can't figure it out, you can ask questions in the Q&A community. The community specializes in asking and answering questions about fish names, so you'll get answers from people who know a lot about them. It is useful not only when you go fishing or playing in and around the water but also for a school project of a summer vacation.

The identification is based on species and groups. If the specie can't be identified, try it again with groups. The app subjects to fish in the sea around Japan excluding a squid group and an octopus group.

【The identification accuracy of the AI is more than 70%】

Identifying fish from photographs is quite difficult even for the experts. Given that, Fish Search has such a high accuracy of 70%(*1) out of 80 suggested species. Furthermore, its accuracy goes up to 90%(*2) when it comes to groups. Please note that the accuracy will change depending on the specie or your way of taking a photography.

●Place the head left and take the picture from its side except for flat fish group.
●Take a picture of a whole fish, from the tail to the head.
●Chose a simple background
●Take a clear picture

●A long fish such as eel.
●Only head or only tail is taken.
●There is only back side of fish since it is taken from the above of it.

【For all who love fish】

This app has been developed based on the "WEB Fish Encyclopedia", which has data of
about 50,000+ kinds of fish. In order to improve accuracy of the app, we made the best use of inventiveness in the back end system.

We flatter ourselves that we have created the best fish identifier so far, yet it doesn't have 100% accuracy because of the characteristic of its system. We hope you will understand that and enjoy this app as a simple and easy tool to identify fish.
