Abstract
Site selection for aquaculture production is a challenging task that entails identifying areas that are socially, economically, and environmentally suitable as well as areas that are appropriate for aquaculture. Remote sensing uses electromagnetic or acoustic waves released by the targets of interest to acquire data/ information about objects/ substances that are not in direct contact with the sensor. Geographic information systems and remote sensing technologies, which allow for the integration and analysis of spatial and attribute data from a variety of sources, have been commonly used to find suitable locations for aquaculture. This article described a summary of the roles of remote sensing in aquaculture site selection.
