Classification of fish image is a complex issue in the field of pattern recognition. Fish classification is a complicated task. Physical shape, size, orientation etc. made it complex to classify. Selection of appropriate feature is also a great issue in image classification. Classification of fish image is very important in fishing service and agricultural field, fish industry, survey applications of fisheries and in other related area. For the assessment and counting of fishes, classification

Noise removal and resizing of image is applied as pre-processing task. Gist and GLCM feature are combined to make a better feature matrix. Features are also tested separately. But combined feature vector performs better than individual. Classification is made on ten types of raw images of fish from two datasets -QUT and F4K dataset. The feature set is trained with different machine learning models. Among them, XgBoost performs with 90.2% and 98.08% accuracy for QUT and F4K dataset respectively.
