Implementation of Artificial Intelligence in Aquaculture and Fisheries: Deep Learning, Machine Vision, Big Data, Internet of Things, Robots and Beyond

Abstract

The aquaculture and fishery industry are multi-billion-dollar business across the globe, and the demand for aquatic species produce increases exponentially throughout these years. However, the depletion of aquaculture lands and aquatic pollution are some of the major worrying predicaments challenging the future of this industry. Sustainable growth strategies are the only way out, and they must come hand in hand with the implementation of artificial intelligence to achieve the desired outcome high throughput in short time periods. The intelligent fish farm and smart cage aquaculture management system are some of the fruits of this drive, and the system keeps improving to date. In this review, we provide recent updates over the past half-decade of artificial intelligence implementation in fishery and aquaculture in hope to provide highlights and future directions to push the industry to greater heights.
