A Q&A community dedicated to questions and answers about fish names is here!
It has the following features:

It will immediately give you a candidate fish species. and it will give you a list of possible fish species. If the AI cant figure it out, you can ask questions in the Q&A community. The community specializes in asking and answering questions about fish names, so youll get answers from people who know a lot about them. It is useful not only when you go fishing or playing in and around the water but also for a school project of a summer vacation.

【For all who love fish】
This app has been developed based on the "WEB Fish Encyclopedia", which has data of
about 50,000+ kinds of fish. In order to improve accuracy of the app, we made the best use of inventiveness in the back end system.
We flatter ourselves that we have created the best fish identifier so far, yet it doesnt have 100% accuracy because of the characteristic of its system. We hope you will understand that and enjoy this app as a simple and easy tool to identify fish.
