Seafood 4.0: Digital, Physical, and Biological Innovations From Sea to Table serves as a comprehensive
source of information about the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) innovations and relevant
technologies used in fisheries, aquaculture, and the seafood industry. The book is divided into five
sections, each exploring recent groundbreaking innovations and technological advances that enhance
seafood quality, safety, and traceability. These advancements hold strong potential to reduce seafood
waste and production costs while simultaneously improving marine sustainability, enabling effective
management of this valuable food resource across the entire seafood value chain from sea to table.
The chapters address the current challenges and future research directions needed to accelerate the
adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies in the seafood sector. Additionally, the book sets the stage for
the next wave of innovation, paving the way for the future revolution of Seafood 5.0.
Promoting multidisciplinary collaboration and accelerating the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies,
this book highlights how these innovations can lead to smart production, processing, supply chain
management, and consumer engagement, making it a valuable resource for anyone involved in the
seafood supply chain, from production to consumption.
