From digital twins enabling farm management from a single control station and simulation of solutions before on-site implementation, to robotics replacing humans in the most hazardous and strenuous tasks, to artificial intelligence— increasingly essential as farming systems become multitrophic and closed-cycle and as weather conditions enter uncharted territory—new technologies are profoundly transforming aquaculture.
