Technological intervention is critical for a sustainable future in aquaculture



A variety of emerging technologies can help aquaculture practitioners improve their productivity and profitability while also increasing the industry’s overall sustainability.

To feed a world population of 9.3 billion people by 2050, food production must increase by 60%.

There is tremendous pressure to meet rising food security and nutritional demand as a result of climate change and its impact on existing food production systems.

We need to rethink how we feed the people as we navigate these complex challenges. Traditional food production systems must be reimagined for a more sustainable future.

Smart aquaculture is an emerging alternative solution to this problem that uses IoT, big data, and artificial intelligence to complete all production and management operations through remote control or robot independent control of aquaculture facilities, equipment, and machinery.

It’s the relationship of modern information technology with the entire aquaculture value chain, which includes production, operation, management, and service. Farmers all over the world are gradually transitioning from labor-intensive to mechanized to automated farming methods. India is no different.

Aquaculture gets a boost from technology

India is the world’s second-largest aquaculture producer, and it contributes significantly to the country’s GDP. The Indian aquaculture sector, with its 7,500 km of coastline, has a lot of untapped potential and the potential to become the world’s leading producer of sustainable seafood. However, the industry faces a number of difficulties.

For starters, the nature of shrimp farming, which takes place underwater and out of sight, makes it difficult to monitor activity. Water quality, feeding efficiency, and the quality of fish and shrimp are the three main challenges that an aquaculture farmer faces.

The output of these ponds can be severely affected if the water quality is not up to par.

A blended approach – a combination of human and technological intervention to ensure that farmers are aware of the best practises in aquaculture – is a smart way to address these gaps in the aquaculture ecosystem. Better productivity and disease management require smart technology.

Decision-making is influenced by artificial intelligence

Organizations are leveraging AI-based technology and data analytics to predict and provide insights into a variety of farm operations in order to nurture an underserved aqua farmer market.

In India, startups working in this space are taking an ecosystem-based approach, digitizing data produced and consumed for analytics-driven data-informed decisions. Such an AI-driven approach allows for continuous monitoring of farm operations and real-time culture analysis. It assists farmers with their daily tasks, such as feed optimization, disease prediction and management, and occasional advice.

Data-driven recommendations aid in determining which actions should or should not be taken, resulting in better decision-making, increased production, and long-term growth.
