Abstract

Abstract: This research project analyzes the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in the company Larvas de Manabí Lardema S.A., part of the aquaculture sector in the city of Manta, with the purpose of identifying barriers, challenges, and opportunities that influence its technological integration. Through a mixed-method approach combining surveys with company executives and an interview with the owner, it was determined that the organization shows a positive disposition towards AI implementation but faces limitations related to technological infrastructure, human talent training, and investment costs. The findings allowed the design of a structured action plan based on strategies aimed at optimizing critical areas such as production, quality control, logistics, and marketing, ensuring a progressive and sustainable integration of intelligent solutions. This study provides a valuable tool for the company and the Ecuadorian aquaculture sector, offering technical guidance for digital transformation in traditional production environments, thus contributing to the strengthening of business competitiveness.
