Environmental Monitoring
AI tools analyze data from sensors and drones to monitor critical environmental parameters like water temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen levels. Continuous monitoring helps detect potential threats to fish populations early, allowing for timely interventions. These systems also assess the impact of aquaculture on surrounding ecosystems, supporting sustainable fish farming practices.

Robotics and Automation
Robotics, combined with AI, is transforming fish harvesting. Underwater drones equipped with cameras and sensors can accurately locate schools of fish and monitor environmental conditions. This automation reduces labor intensity and improves the precision of harvesting operations. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) also help survey large areas, optimizing fishing efforts and ensuring sustainable practices.
