ADMediaOffice / X

Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) has launched the first sea-cage aquaculture project, that uses artificial intelligence (AI) tools, in Abu Dhabi.

The project aims to reduce pressure on wild fisheries by helping to produce up to 100 tonnes of fish annually. 

Six floating sea cages consist of various fish species, which have already seen 168,000 Safi Arabi, 122,000 Gabit, 100,000 Shaam, and 90,000 Sheri fish released.

The AI technology will monitor the quality of both the fish and the water. 

The project will also help with environmental issues by addressing climate change impacts and ensuring sustainable sea-based aqua culture in the UAE capital.
