Since the illnesses and decay in seafood presents distinct symptoms in different species, primarily the classification of species is required. In this field, the inadequacy of the current laborious and slow traditional methods can be overcome with systems based on machine learning and image processing, which present fast and precise results. In order design such systems, practical and suitable datasets are required. However, most of the publicly available datasets are not fit for the mentioned purpose. These datasets either contain images taken underwater or consist of seafood which is generally not (widely) consumed. In this study, a practical and large dataset containing nine distinct seafood widely consumed in the Aegean Region of Turkey is formed. Additionally, comprehensive experiments based on different classification approaches are performed to analyze the usability of this collected dataset. Experimental results demonstrate very promising outcomes; therefore, this dataset will be made publicly available for further investigations in this research domain. © 2020 IEEE.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessclassificationfeature extractionFish datasetfood quality assessmentsegmentationImage processingIntelligent systemsLarge datasetLossesMeatsAegean regionsClassification approachEconomic lossFish segmentationsHuman health problemsLarge-scale datasetOn-machinesResearch domainsClassification (of information)Conference Object10.1109/ASYU50717.2020.92598672-s2.0-85097939469
