Abstract: Fish culture practices have evolved significantly with the integration of artificial lighting technologies, offering innovative approaches to enhance growth, reproduction, and overall productivity in aquaculture. This study reviews the role of artificial light in fish culture, focusing on commercially implemented industrial projects. Artificial lighting, when optimized for intensity, wavelength, and photoperiod, influences critical biological processes such as feeding patterns, growth rates, and spawning behavior. The research highlights successful industrial applications where controlled lighting systems have increased fish yield and reduced production cycles. Various lighting strategies, including LED technology and spectrum manipulation, have demonstrated positive outcomes in species like salmon, tilapia, and trout. Moreover, the economic viability and environmental considerations associated with artificial lighting are analyzed to assess their long-term sustainability. This review aims to provide insights into how lighting innovations can contribute to efficient and profitable fish farming, offering recommendations for future research and industry adoption.
