Over the last decades, aquaculture, a key provider of seafood, showed rapid growth in terms of production volume and economic yield. With the increase in production, the likelihood of facing biological, economic and social challenge occur which influence the ability to maintain ethically sound and eco- friendly production. Hence it is important for the industry to monitor and control the effects of these challenges to avoid the upscaling potential problems. Smart farming technology aims to apply control-engineering principles in improving the farmer's ability to monitor, control and document biological processes in fish farms. Intelligent and smart farming contributes to moving commercial aquaculture from the traditional experience-based system to a knowledge-based production regime. This can be achieved through the use of emerging technologies and automated systems.
