A quantum-inspired multi-objective learning framework for real-time sustainable aquaculture water quality prediction

Abstract

Management of sustainable aquaculture necessitates accurate prediction of water quality parameters, since environmental variability is an important factor in determining aquatic productivity and ecological stability. Traditional machine learning systems are usually limited by inefficient parameter optimization, feature overlap, and limited adaptability to non-linear and time-varying environmental trends. To address these issues, a new concept is proposed, which is called Quantum-Inspired Aquaculture Optimization Network (Q-AQUAOptNet). To improve the process of feature selection, hyperparameter optimization, and model stability before temporal prediction, the proposed architecture combines sustainability index modeling and quantum-inspired multi-objective evolutionary optimization. The optimization approach balances exploration and exploitation, enhancing the learning ability of the prediction model. Implementation of the framework was done through Python-based simulation tools in preprocessing, optimization, and performance evaluation. The created system had a Root Mean Square Error of 0.24, a Mean Absolute Error of 0.21, and an R 2 of 0.97, which means that it has effective predictive power and a great ability to explain the variance. Integrating evolutionary optimization and temporal learning improves generalization performance and reduces prediction uncertainty. The findings demonstrate that Q-AQUAOptNet provides effective predictive performance within a simulation-based framework and shows potential as a sustainability-oriented intelligent water-quality monitoring and decision support system for aquaculture applications.
