Abstract
A no-kill computer-implemented method for collection of physical information and production of a three-dimensional visual replica of a fish includes: first providing a computer-implemented wireless mobile device having a processor; second providing a computer-implemented collection and production platform application to receive and record collected visual image data of the field of view; training a collector lens on a physical visual reference in the field of view; collecting visual image data of the field of view; identifying specimen visual image data within overall visual image data for the complete field of view; compensating for uncontrolled floating motion; of the vessel; generating a virtual three-dimensional visual model of the fish; and fabricating, by a three-dimensional printer, a physical three-dimensional visual replica from the virtual three-dimensional visual model of the fish.
