Abstract

Aquaculture, the cultivation of aquatic organisms for commercial purposes, has grown significantly over the past few decades due to the increasing global demand for seafood. The integration of computer technologies into aquaculture has revolutionized the industry, enabling more efficient management of resources, improved production processes, and enhanced sustainability. Computers and digital systems facilitate real-time monitoring of water quality, fish health, and feeding systems, while data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) aid in optimizing growth conditions, reducing waste, and predicting disease outbreaks. Automation technologies, such as robotics and IoT (Internet of Things) sensors, also support the precision farming of aquatic species, leading to higher yields and reduced environmental impacts. This article explores the role of computer technologies in modern aquaculture, emphasizing their contributions to improving operational efficiency, promoting sustainability, and ensuring food security in an increasingly resource-constrained world.

Keywords: Sensors, food security, commercial species, farmed fish area, unfavorable predators
