| الملخص: | Real-time estimation of fish growth offers multiple benefits in indoor aquaculture, including reduced labor, lower operational costs, improved feeding efficiency, and optimized harvesting schedules. This study presents a low-cost, vision-based method for estimating the body length and weight of olive flounder (<i>Paralichthys olivaceus</i>) in tank environments. A 5 × 5 cm reference grid is placed on the tank bottom, and images are captured using two fixed-position RGB smartphone cameras. Pixel measurements from the images are converted into millimeters using a calibrated pixel-to-length relationship. The system calculates fish length by detecting contour extremities and applying Lagrange interpolation. Based on the estimated length, body weight is derived using a power regression model. Accuracy was validated using both manual length measurements and Bland–Altman analysis, which indicated a mean bias of −0.007 cm and 95% limits of agreement from −0.475 to +0.462 cm, confirming consistent agreement between methods. The mean absolute error (MAE) and mean squared error (MSE) were 0.11 cm and 0.025 cm<sup>2</sup>, respectively. While optimized for benthic species such as olive flounder, this system is not suitable for free-swimming species. Overall, it provides a practical and scalable approach for non-invasive monitoring of fish growth in commercial indoor aquaculture.
