However, the commonly used biochemical tests are invasive and time-consuming and cannot simultaneously monitor and dynamically evaluate multiple stress levels in fish and accurately classify their health levels. The purpose of this study is to deploy wearable bioelectrical impedance analysis (WBIA) sensors on fish skin to construct a deep learning-based stress dynamic evaluation model for precisely estimating their accurate health status. (2) Methods: The correlation of fish (turbot) muscle nutrients and their stress indicators are calculated using grey relation analysis (GRA) for allocating the weight of the stress factors. Next, WBIA features are sieved using the maximum information coefficient (MIC) in stress trend evaluation modeling, which is closely related to the key stress factors. Afterward, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is utilized to obtain the features of the WBIA signals. Then, the long short-term memory (LSTM) method learns the stress trends with residual rectification using bidirectional gated recurrent units (BiGRUs). Furthermore, the Z-shaped fuzzy function can accurately classify the fish health status by the total evaluated stress values. (3) Results: The proposed CNN-LSTM-BiGRU-based stress evaluation model shows superior accuracy compared to the other machine learning models (CNN-LSTM, CNN-GRU, LSTM, GRU, SVR, and BP) based on the MAPE, MAE, and RMSE. Moreover, the fish health classification under waterless and low-temperature conditions is thoroughly verified. High accuracy is proven by the classification validation criterion (accuracy, F1 score, precision, and recall). (4) Conclusions: the proposed health evaluation technology can precisely monitor and track the health status of live fish and provides an effective technical reference for the field of live fish vital sign detection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23198210","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,2]],"date-time":"2023-10-02T04:39:30Z","timestamp":1696221570000},"page":"8210","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Wearable Bioimpedance-Based Deep Learning Techniques for Live Fish Health Assessment under Waterless and Low-Temperature Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6206-1472","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yongjun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Engineering, Shandong Youth University of Political Science, Jinan 250103, China"},{"name":"Smart Healthcare Big Data Engineering and Ubiquitous Computing Characteristic Laboratory, Universities of Shandong, Jinan 250103, China"},{"name":"New Technology Research and Development Center of Intelligent Information Controlling, Universities of Shandong, Jinan 250103, China"}]},{"given":"Longxi","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Engineering, Shandong Youth University of Political Science, Jinan 250103, China"},{"name":"Smart Healthcare Big Data Engineering and Ubiquitous Computing Characteristic Laboratory, Universities of Shandong, Jinan 250103, China"},{"name":"New Technology Research and Development Center of Intelligent Information Controlling, Universities of Shandong, Jinan 250103, China"}]},{"given":"Huanhuan","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Beijing Laboratory of Food Quality and Safety, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100107, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9512-4000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xinqing","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Engineering, Beijing Laboratory of Food Quality and Safety, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100107, China"}]},{"given":"Marina A.","family":"Nikitina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"V.M.
