Seafood 4.0: Digital, Physical, and Biological Realms 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. Divided in five parts, the book covers how recent, groundbreaking innovations and technological advances can improve seafood quality, safety, and traceability monitoring while reducing waste and production costs and enhancing marine sustainability. Chapters explore current challenges and future research directions to accelerate the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies in the seafood sector.
The book also paves the way for the future revolution (i.e., Seafood 5.0). Expected to promote multidisciplinary collaboration and increase the rate of adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies in various food-related sectors, particularly in the seafood area, this book is aimed at a wide audience, covering all actors involved in the seafood production and consumption supply chain.
