        abstract = {Aquaculture is emerging as a critical pillar of global food security, but its rapid expansion has raised sustainability concerns regarding environmental degradation, resource overuse, and socio-economic equity. This paper investigates how digital technologies—including IoT, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and geographic information systems (GIS)—can enable sustainable practices across aquaculture operations. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the study integrates business management, technological applications, and ecological considerations to assess how digital tools improve efficiency, transparency, and environmental stewardship.
By leveraging sensor networks and real-time data analytics, aquaculture farms can monitor water quality, optimize feeding schedules, and predict disease outbreaks, significantly reducing resource waste and mortality rates. Blockchain enhances supply chain transparency and traceability, fostering consumer trust and ensuring compliance with sustainability standards. Machine learning algorithms provide decision-support systems for farmers, promoting precision aquaculture and adaptive management. Furthermore, digital platforms empower small-scale producers by expanding market access and improving financial inclusion.
This research synthesizes findings from global pilot projects and industry case studies, with a particular focus on South India’s aquaculture industry. A conceptual framework is proposed to evaluate the maturity and scalability of digital interventions, followed by a SWOT analysis to highlight opportunities and risks. The study concludes with policy recommendations and future research directions aimed at balancing technological advancement with ecological responsibility. The role of industry stakeholders, and government bodies is also discussed in enabling digital transitions for a sustainable aquaculture future. Ultimately, the paper argues that digital transformation in aquaculture is not merely a technological shift but a paradigm change toward resilient, inclusive, and sustainable aquatic food systems.},
