The juvenile counting system is commonly used by researchers based on the manual
approach. However, the manual counting system has several drawbacks such as timeconsuming,
labour-intensive and human intervention. Thus, the proposed method is
developed as an alternative solution to the manual approach. In this study, several
techniques were used in the proposed method such as thresholding, segmentation,
edge segmentation and blob processing. Based on the experimental result, an analysis
of variance (ANOVA) shown that the effect of the proposed method on three samples
of datasets; small, medium and large was significant different, F(4, 10) = 37.58, p =
1.44E-06 .The proposed method was achieved about 100%, 97.42% and 98.13%
accuracy for small, medium and large sample datasets, respectively. The proposed
method is promising to count the fish juvenile from different sample datasets with less
time processing and effectively.
