The method reduced waste feed and upheld fish growth in a relatively vertically unstratified coastal farming environment. Here, we tested echofeeding at a commercially relevant scale over an 8-month period in a fjord environment with seasonal vertical temperature and salinity gradients. We compared fish behaviour and growth between echofed fish, fed at high intensity and near surface, and control fish, with feeding regulated by pellet detection without surface feeding restriction (conventional practice). Growth (SGR&gt;1.81) and FCR (&lt;0.87) were excellent and similar for three months after sea-transfer in August. However, a strong halocline in late November (&lt;5°C surface water) led echofed fish to avoid surface feeding, resulting in underfeeding. Following the setting of a deeper depth interval for triggering feeding, the echofed fish fed more, and fed at similar levels to control fish when feeding intensity was reduced. Echofeeding underperformed in early spring as rising surface temperatures attracted salmon, making it difficult for the system to distinguish between feeding and routine behaviours. Both groups contracted salmonid alphavirus during winter, reducing appetite and promoting early harvest. Results highlight the need for echofeeding to take environmental changes into account. Further, as fish grew, a gradual decline in the echo signal measured during feeding suggests a method for refining meal termination threshold to minimize waste feed while maintaining good fish growth.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8120,"journal":{"name":"Aquacultural Engineering","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 102565"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144089396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Together with high-speed mobile networks and big data, the mixture of AI and IoT, namely Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), enables data analytics to optimize and enhance the performance of IoT systems. AIoT can potentially transform many aspects of human activities, especially agriculture applications. Shrimp farming, an essential sector of the aquacultural industry that provides a significant source of income and food for many communities worldwide, is expected to benefit most from AIoT. It is noticed that traditional shrimp farming methods are often labor-intensive and environmentally damaging. By integrating AIoT into the shrimp farming process, significant improvements can be achieved across various domains, including monitoring, disease prevention, feeding optimization, and sustainability. This study aims to serve as a comprehensive literature survey and a fieldwork carried out in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD). We explore the promising application of AIoT, its drivers, and barriers in shrimp farming globally, and specifically in the VMD. Our findings indicated that although the adoption of AIoT in this domain is still limited, the IoT technology has been widely used for monitoring and managing shrimp farming systems. This includes tracking essential environmental parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and gas emissions. Furthermore, automatic control systems have been implemented to ensure optimal shrimp growth and survival of the shrimps. Those results were verified through interviews with local authorities and shrimp farmers. Despite discrepancies in the perception and level of promising AIoT applications, efforts have been made by shrimp farmers to implement basic IoT systems for environmental monitoring and farm management towards optimizing farming time and lowering labour demand. However, the application of continuous environmental monitoring and reporting using AI technologies is still limited. Owing to the advantages of learning capability and data analytics, AI integration into IoT for shrimp farming can substantially enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness while lowering labour demand and environmental impacts. Further research is, therefore, necessary to reach the full potential of AIoT in other critical areas of shrimp farming, such as disease detection and prevention, as well as supporting traceability and food safety monitoring in the whole production chain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8120,"journal":{"name":"Aquacultural Engineering","volume":"111 ","pages":"Article 102559"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143937558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
