As global demands for sustainable aquaculture grow, deep-sea super-large ocean ranches emerge as a pivotal solution for high-efficiency, eco-friendly marine farming. These structures, located in deep-water environments, integrate cutting-edge technologies to address challenges in monitoring, management, and sustainability. This study explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into these ranches, examining its transformative role in solving key scientific problems such as real-time environmental monitoring, precision feeding, and disease control. AI's application enhances data-driven decision-making, resource optimization, and operational efficiency, addressing both ecological and economic challenges. By reviewing the state-of-the-art in AI-powered aquaculture and predicting future trends, this paper highlights the potential of AI to revolutionize marine farming, ensuring global food security and advancing sustainable marine resource utilization.
