The existing intelligent systems can, through sensor networks and automatic devices, monitor in real time various parameters in the breeding ponds, such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH value, and even the activity status of the broodstock. Once the underwater camera captures signs of reproduction such as chasing and gathering, the system immediately issues a reminder. In fact, such systems not only remind but also can adjust by themselves: the heating or cooling equipment will be automatically started or stopped when the water temperature is not suitable, and the light intensity will also change according to the set program, trying to imitate the natural rhythm as much as possible (Chen et al., 2022). Some more advanced equipment can even automatically feed and add trace elements, keeping the broodstock in the best condition before and after the breeding period. In the laboratory, there are also people developing intelligent devices that can assist in inducing labor and controlling hatching, with almost no human intervention required. Even better, artificial intelligence algorithms can analyze historical data, summarize experiences, predict the peak of egg-laying, and constantly adjust strategies to make reproduction more stable and accurate. 8.2 Construction of eco-friendly breeding models The eco-friendly breeding model emphasizes taking into account environmental protection and the ecological needs of the species when artificially intervening in yellow catfish breeding. Specifically, artificial reproduction in this mode simulates natural conditions as much as possible and reduces excessive dependence on chemicals and hormones. For example, arranging aquatic plants, stones, etc. in the broodstock breeding tank creates a natural spawning scene, guiding the broodstock to naturally spawn and fertilize, and reducing the dosage of oxytocin hormones from the source. In terms of water quality management, biological filtration and circulating water
