Our Mission
Cichlids are one of the most socially complex species on the planet.
We plan to use a deep learning model to explore links cichlid fish genomics and their social behaviors.
We hope that establishing such a relationship will lead to a better understanding of how to encourage
population stability for various fish species and curb patterns of endangerment/extinction.
Research Questions
- What genes in male African Cichlids correspond to better reproductive success?
- How can computer vision be used to improve or automate pre-existing techniques of cichlid research?
