A Critical Review on the Application and Innovation in Smart Fisheries

Abstract

A comprehensive review of the current trends, applications, and innovations within the realm of smart fisheries was performed. Particular focus was placed on the integration of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT). Recognizing the critical role fisheries play in global economies—especially in developing countries like Bangladesh—this study examines how these technological advancements can tackle urgent issues such as overfishing, disease management, and environmental monitoring. Through an in-depth exploration of recent literature, we highlight successful implementations, pinpoint key knowledge gaps, and outline future research directions. The ultimate aim of this review is to shed light on how smart fishing can enhance sustainability, improve productivity, and strengthen the resilience of the fishing industry.
