Promotion of Smart Fisheries:

Application of ICT to Marine Aquaculture and Set Net Fishing

Abstract

The Fisheries Agency uses ICT to collect information on fishing activities and fishing ground environments to promote appropriate resource assessment and management. We are promoting a “smart fishery” that improves the quality of life. In order to promote DX （Digital Transformation） in the fisheries industry, smart fisheries using ICT have started all over the country. In this report, as support for marine aquaculture, we will introduce two examples of working on predictions: 1） the development of technology for automatically feeding red sea bream and yellowtail based on the activity status of fish using AI, 2） the visualization and estimation of net entry conditions in set nets using oceanographic information and underwater cameras.
