Introduction
   The global aquaculture industry has undergone unprecedented expansion, particularly in tropical regions, emerging as a vital solution to address growing seafood demand. However, this rapid growth has introduced significant challenges in disease management and environmental sustainability, with recent studies revealing that disease outbreaks in aquaculture result in annual economic losses exceeding $6 billion USD globally. This substantial economic impact underscores the pressing need for innovative and sustainable management solutions in the aquaculture sector.
   The global aquaculture industry has experienced unprecedented growth, with production reaching 130.9 million tonnes in 2022,

where aquatic animals accounted for 94.4 million tonnes,
representing 51% of total aquatic animal production. This rapid expansion, particularly in tropical regions, has emerged as a vital solution to address increasing seafood demand, yet it presents complex challenges in disease management and environmental sustainability. Recent studies indicate that disease outbreaks in aquaculture cause annual economic losses exceeding $6 billion USD globally, with the total first sale value of global fisheries and aquaculture production reaching USD 472 billion in 2022, of which aquaculture alone contributed USD 313 billion.
   The intensification of aquaculture practices has led to a surge in disease outbreaks, particularly bacterial infections, which have severely impacted farmed fish production. Traditional disease management approaches have heavily relied on antibiotics, resulting in widespread antimicrobial resistance, with studies indicating that over 70% of administered antibiotics diffuse into surrounding environments. This widespread use of antibiotics has created significant environmental challenges, as the accumulation of antibiotic residues in water and sediment poses long-term ecological risks, affecting both aquatic ecosystems and human health.
   Recent research has made significant strides in addressing these challenges through various approaches. Hegde et al. (2022) advanced our understanding of vaccine development for aquaculture disease prevention, though their work revealed limitations in considering ecological impacts. Similarly, Zhang et al. (2023) pioneered AI-driven disease detection systems, demonstrating the potential of technology in disease management, while Ridwanudin et al. (2022) explored natural immunostimulants as sustainable alternatives to antibiotics. These studies have shown that immunostimulants, when combined with advanced ecological practices, can enhance both fish immunity and ecosystem health.
   Recent developments in AI-quantum pathogen detection systems and large models for environmental perception have enhanced pathogen detection accuracy and enabled real-time optimization of water quality. Studies have shown that AI-driven smart feeding systems can optimize feeding schedules and quantities based on real-time data, improving.
