Abstract: [Background] In recent years, the global aquaculture industry has developed rapidly. However, tra-
ditional manual inspection and monitoring methods have disadvantages such as low efficiency, high cost, and
limited coverage, which are difficult to meet the demands of the aquaculture industry in terms of refined re-
source management, dynamic environmental monitoring, and efficient disaster prevention and control. Against
this backdrop, safe, rapid and effective inspection and monitoring methods have become a research hotspot in
the aquaculture industry. Earth observation technology, with its high spatiotemporal resolution, wide coverage
and multi-dimensional data collection capabilities, has gradually been applied in the aquaculture industry.
[Objective] This paper aims to systematically review the main application fields of earth observation techno-
logy in aquaculture, deeply explore its impact on spatial monitoring and scale assessment of aquaculture zones,
water environment monitoring, topography and facility mapping, biomass and health status assessment, and dis-
aster monitoring and risk early-warning, promoting sustainable development of fishery and ecological environ-
ment protection. [Progress] Through comprehensive literature retrieval, the paper systematically sorts out the
main application fields of earth observation technology in aquaculture, including spatial monitoring and scale
assessment of aquaculture areas, water environment monitoring, topography and facility mapping of aquacul-
ture areas, disaster and risk early warning, etc. The research progress of key technologies such as multi-source
data fusion technology and artificial intelligence and automated analysis is summarized. Research has found that
earth observation technology has effectively enhanced the accuracy and efficiency of aquaculture management
by providing large-scale, high-precision and real-time monitoring data, as well as integrating and intelligently
analyzing multi-dimensional information, which has laid a solid foundation for building a rapid and efficient
aquaculture model, and further promoted the sustainable development of the fishery and ecological environ-
ment protection. [Prospect] In the future, the application of aerial surveying technology in aquaculture should
be further strengthened. By continuously optimizing multi-source data fusion algorithms and artificial intelli-
gence analysis models, the adaptability of earth observation technology to complex aquaculture environments
can be enhanced, application costs can be reduced, and its popularization among small and medium-sized
aquaculture entities can be promoted, which will promote the development of aquaculture towards high effi-
ciency, precision and sustainability, and facilitate the digital transformation and green growth of the industry.
