Agricultural innovation revolution refers to a transformative phase in agricultural development driven by the integration of engineering advances, scientific discoveries, and emerging technologies into production systems. It involves the development and application of innovations such as automation, sensor networks, robotics, precision monitoring, intelligent control systems, and data-driven decision-support tools to improve production efficiency, resource utilization, and environmental performance [1][2]. In aquatic production, these changes are reflected in the emergence of precision aquaculture, where engineering technologies are used to monitor water quality, track cultured organisms, optimize feeding, detect disease, and regulate production conditions [1][3]. The convergence of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, machine vision, and automated equipment is further enabling more integrated and responsive aquaculture systems [2][3]. The agricultural innovation revolution therefore encompasses not only individual technological inventions but also their integration into production processes and management practices, with implications for productivity, sustainability, and the development of modern agricultural and aquatic food systems.
