Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our AI-based fish farm automation system

It is a smart aquaculture management solution that uses real-time sensor data (e.g., dissolved oxygen, temperature, ammonia, pH, water level) combined with AI algorithms to automate and optimize farm operations like aeration, feeding, and water exchange.

  • Aeration control (based on DO levels, temperature, OCR)
  • Feeding schedules (based on fish biomass, growth rate, FCR, time of day, and weather)
  • Water exchange or pumping (triggered by water quality thresholds)
  • Alert system for critical conditions (e.g., low DO, high ammonia)
  • Harvest and stocking planning using historical data and growth prediction

Primary Parameters:

  • Dissolved Oxygen (DO)
  • Water Temperature
  • pH
  • Ammonia (NH₃/NH₄⁺)
  • Water level

Additional Parameters:

  • Secchi disk visibility (via manual input or smart camera)
  • Weather data (via API or on-site sensor)
  • Fish biomass & feeding behavior (via AI models or underwater cameras)

AI models:

  • Predict oxygen demand (based on biomass, time, temperature)
  • Optimize aerator run-time and reduce energy cost
  • Suggest feeding amount and time to improve FCR
  • Forecast fish growth and harvest size
  • Identify abnormal fish behavior or disease symptoms (if cameras are used)
  • Pond dimensions and depth
  • Species being cultured
  • Stocking weight and density
  • Feed type and feeding schedule
  • Initial water quality profile
  • Historical farm performance (optional but useful for accuracy)

Yes, the system can operate autonomously, but manual override and review options are always available. It uses logic and AI to:

  • Turn on/off aerators
  • Send SMS/notification alerts
  • Trigger feeding events
  • Suggest decisions backed by data

The system offers two modes:

  • Real-time cloud-based systems: Require continuous internet for remote monitoring and cloud-based analytics.
  • Edge computing systems: Basic automation like aeration can work offline with periodic syncing when internet is available.

It uses:

  • Stocking data and growth models (e.g., SGR-based)
  • Feed input and FCR tracking
  • Optional integration with underwater cameras and image processing for size estimation
  • Low DO or high ammonia warning
  • Power failure or aerator malfunction
  • Daily feed recommendation
  • Weekly water quality trends
  • Harvest readiness alerts
  • Economic projection (costs vs. revenue)
  • Reduces risk of mass fish mortality
  • Improves feed efficiency and growth
  • Saves time and energy costs
  • Makes smart planning decisions
  • Provides clear, data-backed insights

The system can:

  • Fetch local weather forecasts
  • Suggest proactive actions (e.g., run aerator before rain)
  • Alert farmers to increase pond water depth or reduce feeding

Yes. The system supports multi-pond management with individualized sensor data, controls, and insights for each pond.

Yes, it can be retrofitted with:

  • Paddle wheel aerators
  • Water pumps
  • Manual or automatic feeders

Even if sensors are limited, semi-automated logic can still improve efficiency.

  • Live pond monitoring
  • Device status (aerators, feeders)
  • Automated or manual control
  • Daily summary and reports
  • Voice-enabled AI assistant for recommendations
