Variations between distinct natural markings of freckled hawkfish (Paracirrhites forsteri) could allow in situ identification of individuals from underwater photography. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to assess the ability of the Interactive Individual Identification System (I S) software to assist in discriminating between images of P. forsteri individuals. This study's results show the high discriminant ability of I S to differentiate between unlike individuals and identify images of the same individual. The ability to use automatic computer-aided assistance in the study of this species will enable future research to explore behaviour and movements of individuals in the wild.
不同个体的麻斑鹰鲷（Paracirrhites forsteri）天然斑纹存在差异，这使得人们可以通过水下摄影对个体进行原位识别。本研究使用受试者工作特征分析来评估交互式个体识别系统（I S）软件辅助区分麻斑鹰鲷个体图像的能力。研究结果表明，I S 软件具有很高的判别能力，可以区分不同个体，并识别同一个体的图像。该技术可用于自动辅助研究该物种，这将使未来的研究能够探索其在野外的行为和运动。
