Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tuna species represent a valuable food source for millions of people and are fundamental within the global economy. Tuna also comprise a key aspect of the health of the greater marine ecosystem. We are currently at a stage where we are considering the development of new technologies to make the production and management of tuna fisheries more sophisticated and efficient. The application of AI means that work that has previously been dependent on human experience and intuition can instead be performed by computers. Incorporating digital twins requires an understanding and clarification of the mechanisms and principles behind essential phenomena in tuna fisheries. Moreover, we must be sure to follow best practices in terms of sustainable management approaches.
This Special Issue will collate research results and review articles on new technologies, theories, and best practices in order to achieve technological innovations, including the application of digital twins, which are necessary for advancements in production and management in tuna fisheries. For this Special Issue, we welcome approaches that promote the use of digital twins and best practices for managing sustainable tuna fisheries, especially within the fields of engineering, mathematical science, information science, and remote sensing technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Tuna behavior;
- Tuna population distribution;
- Fishing gear numerical simulations, mechanics, and design;
- Best practices to mitigate the impacts of tuna fisheries on ecosystems;
- Applications of new technologies in fishing equipment systems;
- Tuna fishery management.
