Abstract
The world's biggest facing problem is the increase in population and the difficulty of feeding them healthy food. Globally, agriculture, fisheries, and aquaculture play a vital role in producing food for human consumption on land and in the ocean. Over the past decades, the aquaculture industry has been the fastestgrowing food-producing sector in the world, but currently, the sector is facing many problems due to improper management, traditional techniques, and expensive labor. Therefore, the industry and rich farmers have adopted the use of automation and robotic technology in a variety of tasks to address current and future challenges in aquaculture with the overall goal of improving efficiency, reducing risks and costs, as well as increasing production and sustainability. Increasing automation in high-risk processes of aquaculture will have positive social and ethical impacts in addition to economic ones. This article discusses the use of automation and robotic techniques in the fisheries and aquaculture sector by reviewing the problems, processes, and applications in this field. From the review and analysis of the current situation and issues it is clear that automation in the aquaculture and fisheries sector will take it forward in the future with lower costs and more profits.
