Swistrack - an open source, software package applicable to tracking of fish locomotion and behavior:

I hope an updated version that will work with HD 1080 USB cameras will be avialable in the spring of 2021. Keep an eye out for this!  

It will probably be posted by Thomas Lochmatter on GitHub at this link: https://github.com/d28b

Update: Thomas Lochmatter made a new version that work w HD1080 camera and with Linux and Windows 64-bait - as of fall 2022.
