more, a flexible and easy to install monitoring sys-
tem for various shrimp production systems was pre-
sented. By means of the proposed automated moni-
toring approach, a more time and cost efficient shrimp
production can be achieved to increase the efficiency
of the shrimp farming process. Certainly, as men-
tioned in the previous section, there is room for im-
provement within all three mentioned use-cases. This
could be a subject for future research. Additionally,
it became clear that the designed system should cover
a significantly larger area than 40 × 20 cm. Approx-
imately 100 × 100 cm would be a better fit, which
would make the counting task more meaningful. In
addition to all the considered use-cases, an automated
detection of anomalies in the external appearance of
shrimp could be an interesting use-case for future
works.
