Background and Motivation

Background: The depletion of wild fish populations and the increasing demand for sustainable and nutritious seafood have driven a shift towards aquaculture. However, traditional fish farming practices face challenges such as disease outbreaks, inefficient feeding, and environmental impact. These issues not only increase production costs but also affect product quality and consumer trust. As fish farming expands, there is a growing need for smart, technology-driven solutions that ensure efficient and sustainable production while maintaining high product standards.

Motivation: The Smart Fish Farming project addresses these challenges by harnessing advanced digital technologies to automate and optimize aquaculture processes. By implementing real-time monitoring and assessment tools, the project aims to provide farmers with detailed insights into fish health and growth conditions, allowing for informed decision-making. This proactive approach is expected to reduce the environmental impact of fish farming, lower medication use, and enhance consumer confidence through traceable, quality-certified products.
