At the time of fishing, there are a lot of problems fishermen face such as weather changes, border tracking, navigation, illegal fishing, pirate attack, oil spill, technical fault in boats, etc. Therefore, the application of AI and related techniques in boat automation, information sharing, and preparation of documentation resources is very important in this sector.
