A quaculture is facing increasing pressure from environmental challenges, diseases, and the demand for higher production. In the face of these growing challenges,  effective biosecurity management plays essential role as intensive production practices causes increased biosecurity risks. A quaculture biosecurity  management is a key concept to prevent and control diseases and to maintain a good environment in aquaculture production systems. It consists of practices that minimize the risk of introduction and spread of an infectious disease . A robust biosecurity system helps in maintaining the health of aquaculture stocks, preventing the spread of diseases, and ensuring the overall quality of the output.  In the era of Big Data and AI, various digital technologies  have emerged to offer potentials of  smart biosecurity management based on better control of water quality, feeding and disease .  A  main  challenge  for the  successful and wide adoption of  effective smart  aquaculture technologies  is  the lack of  an integrated approach for effective  biosecurity management decision  support systems to assist farmers . For example, t here is a lack of capability to  accurately  predict how  water  condition is affected by the environment condition, management practice and the growth of cultured species i n  time  for precision c ontrol  of production  condition and disease prevention .  This research proposes a framework (see below)  for  the development and integration of biosecurity intelligent  decision support toolkits, IoT sensors, AI-driven biosecurity system modelling, and cloud-based data analytics to optimize aquaculture biosecurity measures and decision support . The  proposed system  also involves using novel physiologically-based modelling techniques.
