Smart Navigation and Inspection System for Aquaculture Development under Controlled Parameters

Abstract

Aquaculture is a rapidly growing industry that provides a critical source of food for millions of people worldwide. However, fish farmers face significant challenges such as environmental pollution, disease control, and inadequate water quality control systems. To address these challenges, intelligent monitoring and control systems are necessary. One promising technology that can improve monitoring efficiency and reduce human error is the use of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in cage aquaculture. AUVs can operate in harsh and challenging environments, collect data on water quality, temperature, and other environmental factors, and provide detailed information on fish health and behavior. Implementing AUVs in cage aquaculture can improve sustainability by reducing waste and minimizing environmental pollution, and aid in surveillance activities to detect illegal fishing and other unauthorized activities. Additionally, AUVs can assist in infrastructure inspection to identify and repair damaged equipment. In conclusion, the aquaculture industry faces significant challenges that can lead to substantial losses. Intelligent monitoring and control systems, along with the use of AUVs, can help mitigate these challenges by providing real-time information on fish health, cage condition, and the environment. Implementing these technologies can promote a more sustainable and profitable aquaculture industry, ensuring a reliable source of food for millions of people worldwide.
