MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541114823 A) filed by Sri Sairam Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 21, 2025, for 'smartfishnet-integrated ai iot geospatial platform for predictive marine resource and fishery management.'
Inventor(s) include Pavithra V; Aashritha S; Hiba Mariam T; and Dr. M Kanthimathi.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to SmartFishNet, an integrated AI-IoT-Geospatial intelligence platform engineered to transform marine fisheries operations in India. The system incorporates a compact, vessel-mounted hardware module equipped with ESP32/STM32 microcontrollers, u-blox GNSS, and marine-grade environmental sensors to continuously capture oceanographic, meteorological, and positional data in real time. This data is securely transmitted over MQTT to a cloud-native backend (Python/Flask), where a multi-layered Al engine-combining machine learning, satellite-derived ocean parameters, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models-generates high-accuracy fish catch predictions, dynamic fishing-zone forecasts, and risk-indexed safety advisories and that has been projected in the prototype figure[100]. The invention further integrates geofencing for restricted zones, enabling automatic alerts related to protected marine areas, international boundaries, and hazardous environmental regions. The processed intelligence is delivered through a dual-portal interface (React.js): a Fishermen Dashboard providing simplified, actionable insights, and a Scientist & Administrative Portal offering high-resolution analytics, spatiotemporal visualisations, and model diagnostics to support research and national fisheries management. By fusing Al-driven prediction, IoT-based field sensing, and real-time geospatial analysis, the invention significantly enhances operational efficiency, crew safety, regulatory compliance, and sustainable marine resource utilisation within the Indian Exclusive Economic Zone."
