SMART FISHING How is Digital and Data Science Transforming Fish and Aquaculture industries

Seafood production faces major challenges such as conservation of the stocks, climate change, sustainability and feeding millions of people with essential nutrients such as omega 3. Although technology by itself cannot solve all the problems, it can be a catalytic element for the transformation of fisheries and aquaculture practices and policies. Technology also can help consumers make better decisions regarding what they eat and the impacts of their choices on the environment and on those who participate in its production. Fisheries and Aquaculture industry, with innovative high-tech developments, is automatizing the data collection leading to new improvements on its management, efficiency and product quality. However, the industry still does not use the full potential of the data and artificial intelligence technologies.
