Scientists have developed AI that identifies individual southern rock lobsters by the unique patterns on their shells. Matching lobster photos with supply-chain records could help verify where seafood came from and how it reached buyers. Researchers hope to expand the technology's use across the industry and eventually let diners trace their lobster with a photo.
