Identifi cation of paralytic shellfi sh toxin-producing microalgae using machine learning and deep learning methods

摘要

Paralytic shellfi sh poisoning(PSP)microalgae,as one of the harmful algal blooms,causes great damage to the of fshore fi shery,marine culture,and marine ecological environment.At present,there is no technique for real-time accurate identifi cation of toxic microalgae,by combining three-dimensional fluorescence with machine learning(ML)and deep learning(DL),we developed methods to classify the PSP and non-PSP microalgae.The average classifi cation accuracies of these two methods for microalgae are above 90%,and the accuracies for discriminating 12 microalgae species in PSP and non-PSP microalgae are above 94%.When the emission wavelength is 650-690 nm,the fl uorescence characteristics bands(excitation wavelength)occur dif ferently at 410-480 nm and 500-560 nm for PSP and non-PSP microalgae,respectively.The identification accuracies of ML models(support vector machine(SVM),and k-nearest neighbor rule(k-NN)),and DL model(convolutional neural network(CNN))to PSP microalgae are 96.25%,96.36%,and 95.88%respectively,indicating that ML and DL are suitable for the classifi cation of toxic microalgae.
