The presence of sublethal morphological deformities represents one of the main bottleneck of the industrial finfish hatchery
production, resulting in major economic loss due to reduced growth and marketing ability of the final product, that has to be
transformed (filets) or sold for fish flour. Furthermore, the elimination of deformed fishes from the productive cycle needs
for periodic selections at present carried out by manual sorting. This represents an additional economic cost, and a stress
for fishes.
