Frontiers in Zoology 2007, 4:2doi:10.1186/1742-9994-4-2

Expanded discussion

Jason Holmberg   (05 February 2007)  ECOCEAN email

There is an expanded discussion on photo-identification for mark-recapture studies, especially as it relates to whale sharks, in this forum:

http://forum.ecocean.org/index.php?topic=121.0

if you're interested in this paper, I suggest participating in this forum and discussing the two algorithms and tools available.

Competing interests

I am the creator of one of the technologies discussed in this article: the ECOCEAN Whale Shark Photo-identification Library and also a co-author on a cited paper (Arzoumanian et. al) within it. I have started an expanded discussion on this topic, including a mention of my concerns with the authors' comments about our system without having direct experience with it.
