The crucial need for reliable, robust, and unbiased biodiversity data to support initiatives such as the 30x30 initiative poses significant scientific and technological challenges. Advances have been made in automating fish biodiversity assessment using computer vision. However, the clear divide between the research domains of ecology and data science hinders the effective use of computer vision tools for ecological tasks.

CleverFish is a new tool designed to bridge the gap between marine biology and artificial intelligence. By addressing the following three challenges, it provides an effective analysis tool:
• Providing an easy-to-use graphical interface;
• Enabling both global and video-specific biodiversity assessment directly within the application;
• Offering the capability for rapid and efficient extraction of temporal and spatial distribution of fish species in a format understandable to ecologists.
