Internet of Fisheries Things (IOFT) for Blue Economy & Ecosystem

The industry with the fastest global growth is aquaculture, particularly in developing nations. Studies of control systems, automation, IoT, and artificial intelligence are becoming more and more prevalent as a result of developments in information technology and embedded systems in the digitalization era. The 4.0 industrial revolution, which promotes device connection via IoT and AI, is a result of the swift advancement of science and technology. One of the key factors in the growth of this revolution is IoT. The fourth industrial revolution is a shift from manual to automated operations that rely on computer technology. The digitalization of all industries, including fisheries and aquaculture, must be the first step in technological advancement toward the usage of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data. The raising and catching of fish have undergone several changes as a result of digitization in the fishing industry. The main benefits of digitizing fisheries are those related to time, money, and labor efficiency. The procedure of digitizing aquaculture can be seen from a variety of angles, including pre-production (locating cultivation sites using GIS), production (improving resource efficiency by employing automatic feeders and water quality testing equipment), and post-production (utilization of digital marketing).
