Sustainable aquaculture development: a review on the roles of cloud computing, internet of things and artificial intelligence (CIA)

Abstract

Each year, there is a significant rise in demand for global food production due to population increase and a rise in demand for protein food sources. This puts pressure on capture fishery as fish is a preferred protein source worldwide. However, the more resources we put into the capture fisheries to obtain maximum catch, the faster the fisheries stock becomes depleted. The best option left to produce enough fish to meet demand is relying on advanced aquaculture. Unfortunately, the impact of technological advancement in the aquaculture sector is not profound compared to the agricultural and manufacturing sectors. The advent of Cloud computing, Internet of Things, and Artificial Intelligence (CIA) has expanded numerous possibilities for applying and integrating information technology in all works of life. This article reviews the emergence of research development on CIA and the potential to revolutionize the aquaculture industry. The use of CIA techniques and tools such as drones, nano and micro-sensors, bionic robots, remote cameras, intelligent sorting, energy-saving processing equipment, statistical modules, and algorithms will reduce human intervention and increase aquaculture productivity. Also, the application of CIA in the aquaculture value chain to ensure effectiveness in traceability, feeding, disease detection, growth prediction, environmental monitoring, market information, and others is key to increasing aquaculture productivity and sustainability. Therefore, the future of aquaculture operations with less human labour, effective maintenance, and resource utilization largely depend on innovative technologies. Here, we outlined the need for adopting innovative technologies and the limiting factors that hinge on CIA adoption in the aquaculture industry.

Construction of COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control and Public Health Emergency Response System Based on Discrete Stochastic Mathematical Model

“…In terms of informatization construction, digital technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing are continuously developing in recent years [ 16 – 18 ]. Building an informatized public health emergency management system has become an important part of governments at all levels effectively performing public service functions.…”

Intelligent fish farm—the future of aquaculture

“…They can also greatly reduce the labor intensity and cost, and improve the fishery production efficiency. In addition, intelligent equipment and robots can autonomously perceive the massive data of intelligent fish farm and transmit these data to the cloud platform as the data basis for big data analysis (Mustapha et al 2021 ).…”

AI serves intelligent equipment and robots, and endows intelligent equipment and robots with "intelligent brains," which can learn, judge and make decisions independently in fishery production.…”

A Two-Mode Underwater Smart Sensor Object for Precision Aquaculture Based on AIoT Technology

“…Various sensors such as temperature, position, humidity, flow, and photo optic or camera sensors have changed how the world accesses data from remote locations. These devices have bridged the gap in collecting data from the physical environment and transmitting wirelessly to a platform with a network of remote servers for storage, management, and data processing [ 6 ]. Data collection from physical environments can be carried out by other means such as underwater vehicles [ 7 ].…”
