FishTagsACQUALTA-15 is a dataset created by the PhD student Marco Francescangeli thanks to an ASSEMBLE+ project with the acronym FARADAY (Fish Activity Rhythm in the Adriatic at Diel And Yearly time scale; PID9827). The tagging annotations were obtained using the image repository of ACQUALTA platform from the camera at 15 m depth. The annotations report the file name of the images in the ACQUALTA repository, the time stamp, the image coordinates of the vertices of the bounding boxes of the tags, and the fish taxa classification. The tagging covers the period between 2022-04-27 and 2022-05-25 with a frequency of one photo each 30 minutes. We created this dataset to compa re the classification data from that visual census with a concomitant eDNA sampling data at the ACQUALTA platform. Furthermore, this dataset represents a valuable material for the development of an automated image analysis device. We tagged the fishes using a python code developed by the researcher Dr. Simone Marini uploaded in the Zenodo repository https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6566282.
