Artificial intelligence, automation, and IoT-driven solutions are transforming traditional fish farming into a highly efficient, data-driven industry. Digital & smart aquaculture technology integrates real-time monitoring systems, underwater sensors, and machine learning algorithms to optimize water quality, feeding schedules, and fish health management. Automated feeders equipped with AI analyze fish behavior, reducing waste while enhancing growth rates. Drones and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) facilitate farm inspections, minimizing human intervention in challenging environments. Blockchain technology is also gaining traction, ensuring transparency and traceability in the seafood supply chain. Meanwhile, cloud-based platforms enable farmers to make informed decisions through predictive analytics, reducing operational risks. As the industry moves towards precision aquaculture, the adoption of Digital & Smart Aquaculture Technology enhances productivity, sustainability, and profitability, paving the way for a more resilient and environmentally responsible future in aquatic food production.
