The demand for food is growing at a pace with the global population. As the population continues to grow, the pressure on the world's fisheries will continue to increase. The aquaculture industry faces several challenges, including high mortality, disease, feed spill, poor fish welfare, and high water utilization rate. Smart fish farming refers to a new scientific field whose objective is to optimize the efficient use of resources and promote sustainable development in aquaculture through deeply integrating the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. Through Artificial intelligence (AI) fisheries sector can develop rapidly and production can be quadrupled within a short period, making aquaculture a less labor-intensive field. This will help in the tremendous growth of the fisheries sector as the situation of the culture system changes frequently according to the surrounding. Thus, the application of Al seems to be unavoidable in the further development and intensification of fisheries and aquaculture.
