abstract
Empirical analysis of Indian mobile apps and IoTs in fisheries sector was performed using virtual information where features, downloads, ratings, space, year of publication were recorded. Total of 30 Indian mobile apps out of which, 12 were related to aquaculture whereas 9 each for marine fisheries and marketing were recorded. First app Aqua Brahma was published in 2015 and most recent Mathsya kiran was published in 2019. Daily Fish India had highest (1, 00,000+) downloads. Fish disease advisory, Sagar vani developed in 2018 had 500+ downloads each and Mathsya Kiran had highest rating i.e., 5/5. Most apps (17) had ratings between 4 to 5. Correlations showed that app size and ratings did not affect downloads. Government organisations have developed 15 apps. Three companies Eruvaka technologies, cFog, Aquaconnect are developing fish farm IoT systems so future looks promising. Study recommends capacity development of fisheries professionals in Artificial Intelligence (AI), mobile apps and IoTs.
