The International Pacific Halibut Commission (IPHC) is seeking 2–3 undergraduate students for a volunteer position in their otolith lab. Volunteers will take images of whole and cross-sectioned otoliths using a mounted camera. These photos will train an image classification model to determine Pacific halibut ages based on photos of their otoliths. Coupled with traditional aging methods, this model will help produce more high-quality ages, making the stock assessment process more efficient.
