Hello,

Here is a visualization illustrating an aquarium, where each fish corresponds to a data point.  
The fish groups were identified using the [dbscan](https://help.scilab.org/dbscan.html) algorithm which allows cluster detection based on density, without requiring a predefined number of groups.  
The input data were generated by [Stimulus](https://www.3ds.com/products/catia/stimulus).  
You can find the script and data file [here](https://gitlab.com/scilab/communication/-/tree/main/fish2D).
