A MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF A RED CORAL CORALLIUM RUBRUM (L.) POPULATION UN’APPLICAZIONE DEL MACHINE LEARNING PER LO STUDIO DI UNA POPOLAZIONE DI CORALLO ROSSO CORALLIUM RUBRUM (L.) Abstract – This study deals with the application of a machine learning algorithm (a classification tree) to assess the weight of Corallium rubrum (Cnidaria, Octocorallia) ramifications on the basis of the number of apices. Our approach can be easily applied to obtain in situ estimates of weight and basal diameter of colonies. Future developments include the integration with image acquisition and processing hardware. Key-words: Corallium rubrum, biometry, machine learning. Introduction – Due to their trophic role, biomass and biogenic activities, long-lived species play a major role in benthic marine ecosystems (Garrabou & Harmelin, 2002). The Mediterranean red coral (Corallium rubrum (L.) is certainly among these species, but it is also a heavily exploited species (Santangelo et al., 2007). This study aims at using red coral colonies as models for searching a non-destructive method for the assessment of weight and basal diameters of the ramifications based on the number of apices, using a machine learning approach (Fielding, 1999). This could be helpful for registered divers in order to prevent fishing colonies below the legal size. Materials and methods – The study area is located 7 nm SSW of Alghero (Italy) (40° 23.668’ N - 8° 13.418’ E) at a depth of nearly 120 m. The fishing grounds of this area were already investigated (Cudoni & Chessa, 1991). The coral was fished by a registered professional diver. 123 colonies were used for model calibration, 63 for validation only. Linear models were computed for the following relationships: wet weight (W) vs. basal diameter (D), basal diameter vs. number of apices (A) and wet weight vs. number of apices. A Classification Tree (Breiman et al., 1984) was then trained to predict wet weight on the basis of the number of apices. This method allows to overcome some limitations that may hinder statistical models (e.g. normality, linearity, etc.). Results – The correlation between W and A was quite good (r=0.77**), while the one between D and A was somewhat weaker (r=0.50**). This could be due to the fact that the W vs. A correlation depends on colony shape, which in turn depends on D. This means that the relation that links A to the other parameters is not a simple one. The log-log linear correlation between W and D (W=0.4634·D 1.9125 , MSE=369.2) (Fig. 1), was a rather good one. According to it, the ramifications that can be fished on the basis of local regulations are those with a minimum weight of 37.9 g (10 mm diameter). Colonies of 24.7 g (8 mm diameter) can be fished with some limitations. The correlation between predicted and observed wet weight, based on the validation set, was r=0.76**, thus showing that using A to assess W was a viable solution for red 41 st S.I.B.M.
