# AI-Driven Research Directions at the Museum of Hydrobiological Sciences

The Museum of Hydrobiological Sciences (MHBS), part of the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IHB/CAS), houses an extensive collection of over 400,000 aquatic specimens, including 300,000 freshwater fish. To advance hydrobiological research, the museum is integrating cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance specimen management, species identification, and ecological studies. Here are three key AI-driven research directions currently being explored:

1. **Digitalization of Museum Specimens**  
   AI is being leveraged to digitize the museum’s vast collection, creating high-resolution digital records and 3D models of specimens. This not only preserves fragile specimens but also facilitates global access and collaboration.

2. **Species Classification and Recognition**  
   Deep learning and AI-powered tools are being developed to automate species identification from digital images of aquatic specimens, improving the efficiency and accuracy of taxonomic work.

3. **Dynamic Generation and Updating of Fish Dichotomous Keys**  
   Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used to dynamically generate and update fish identification keys based on the latest research, facilitating more flexible and up-to-date resources for species classification.
