Application of intelligent and unmanned equipment in aquaculture: A review

The rapid development of intelligent and unmanned technology has been applied in various fields including aquaculture. Intelligent and unmanned technologies create new opportunities and challenges for the production of intelligent fisheries. This paper focuses on the four major aspects of deep-sea aquaculture including intelligent feeding, water quality detection, biomass estimation, and underwater inspection, reviews their development process from the traditional manual way to mechanization, then to automation, and finally to unmanned, intelligent equipment. The convenience, efficiency, and precision of each intelligent device in practical application are also discussed. In addition, the main factors limiting the large-scale application of intelligent and unmanned equipment in the aquaculture industry, as well as the future development trend of aquaculture robots are highlighted.
