Abstract
In recent years, safety concerns in aquaculture have become increasingly prominent due to various factors. Concurrently, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has offered novel approaches to addressing these challenges. This paper provides a comprehensive review and synthesis of AI applications in aquaculture safety over the past few decades, while also suggesting future directions. Utilizing bibliometric tools such as Citespace and VOSviewer, we analyzed 513 publications spanning from 1998 to 2025. Our analysis highlighted a growing global research interest in this emerging field. Furthermore, it is forecasted that the integration of remote sensing technology, immune response monitoring, and cross-disciplinary innovations will drive the transformation of aquaculture safety management toward a more intelligent, proactive, and sustainable approach. These advancements are expected to enhance the precision and efficiency of risk assessment and disease prevention in aquaculture systems.
