Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the future of aquacultureโbut achieving truly sustainable digital transformation requires more than smarter algorithms. It demands responsible innovation, ethical governance, and technologies designed with people at the center.
The College of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences proudly congratulates ๐๐ฎ๐๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ฅ. ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐, faculty member of the College, on the publication of his review article:

published in the Q2-ranked journal Frontiers in Aquaculture. The review synthesizes evidence from 220 peer-reviewed publications published between 2015 and 2025 to examine how artificial intelligence is transforming aquaculture through precision management, environmental monitoring, disease detection, computer vision, predictive analytics, and decision-support systems, while emphasizing the equally important roles of ethical governance, explainable AI, and human-centered innovation.
Moving beyond a purely technology-focused perspective, the review identifies three emerging pillars shaping the future of AI-enabled aquaculture: human-centered and explainable AI, ethical and governance frameworks, and AI-driven technological innovations that integrate machine learning, computer vision, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to support sustainable aquaculture production. The paper also highlights critical barriers to adoption, including limited digital infrastructure, affordability, data interoperability, cybersecurity, algorithmic bias, and digital literacy, particularly in developing countries.
A key contribution of the study is the development of an original AIโSustainabilityโGovernance Framework, which links technological innovation with sustainability outcomes, stakeholder participation, and responsible governance. By aligning AI development with the FAO Blue Transformation Agenda and the OECD AI Principles, the review proposes a pathway toward more inclusive, transparent, and socially responsible digital aquaculture systems.
More importantly, the publication emphasizes that the future of artificial intelligence in aquaculture will not be determined by technological advances alone. Its long-term success depends on strong governance, high-quality data, ethical implementation, and the capacity of farmers, researchers, and institutions to adopt AI responsibly and equitably.
This publication reflects the College's continuing commitment to advancing globally relevant, interdisciplinary research that bridges fisheries science, aquaculture, digital technologies, and sustainability. It also reinforces the role of North Eastern Mindanao State University in contributing knowledge that supports the responsible transformation of aquatic food systems in the Philippines and beyond.
Congratulations, Jaynos R. Cortes, on this significant research milestone and for bringing international recognition to the College of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences and North Eastern Mindanao State University.
