1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
generating, from each of a first pair and a second pair of images of livestock that are within an enclosure and that are taken at different times using a stereoscopic camera, first and second respective distance distributions of aquatic livestock within the enclosure;
determining, from the first and second distance distributions, a measure associated with an optical property of water within the enclosure, wherein the optical property of the water is turbidity; and
providing a signal associated with the measure.
