Good day Johannes,

you may be lucky with some of your images but as you write:

"[...] however the the background is not uniform which might complicate
things"

Segmentation will not be satisfying in most cases, with images such as
the second example image.

Please note that it is very hard and sometimes even impossible to
remedie problems by image processing and analysis that are due to
insufficient image acquisition.

Why not isolate every fish in a small aqurium with suitable background?

Regards

Herbie
