Design of Automated Fish Feeder Using IoT

Abstract: The world's need for seafood is largely met by aquaculture, which calls for improvements in farming practises. In this paper, an Internet of Things (IoT)-powered Automatic Fish Feeder (AFF) system is presented. To collect data in real time, the AFF system makes use of a variety of sensors, such as those that measure ambient factors, fish activity, and water quality. Fish farmers are able to remotely monitor the conditions of the aquatic environment thanks to the processing and wireless transmission of this data by microcontrollers. Farmers may plan and modify feeding schedules, amounts, and feed mixes according to the individual requirements of the fish species using an easy-to-use mobile application. By analysing the gathered data, the system's clever algorithms optimise feeding schedules, guaranteeing that fish get the right nutrition while reducing feed waste. Moreover, by minimising overfeeding—which can result in water contamination and ecological imbalances—the AFF system fosters sustainability. This study shows how IoT technology may be successfully incorporated into aquaculture operations to improve production, save operating costs, and encourage environmental stewardship. The results of this study offer significant insights for the aquaculture sector, opening the door for the global adoption of IoT-based technologies to enhance fish farming methods

Automatic Fish Feeder on Unmanned Surface Vehicle with Automatic Control and Navigation

Fish farming is common in Indonesia. The farmers usually use ponds with a large size for cultivation which have constraints on feeding due to their size. An automatic feed system with An Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) can be the solution to overcome this problem. The USV moves to the predetermined position and direction using GPS and compass. When it has arrived at that point this USV feeds the fishes according to the predetermined amount. In this study, the Pixhawk is used to control the USV to accomplish the given mission. It uses mission planner software for determination of the waypoint points, the calibration of components, and the control of PID. The Pixhawk also serves as a ground control station (GCS) for monitoring the motion and position of the USV using radio communication of 433MHz telemetry connected to the GCS and computer. The fish feeding system uses a load cell sensor to measure the weight of the feed to be thrown and two servo motors as a feed production system. Both sensor and servo motors are controlled by an Arduino UNO. The feed tank has a maximum capacity of 7.5 liters with 0.41 cm per kilogram buoyant force of the USV. The test was carried out on a pool of 10 × 10 m by placing 4 Waypoints. The USV has an average speed of 0.65 m/s and reaches a total distance of 55.5 m in 88 seconds. Before releasing to the pond, the feed weight is measured using a load cell sensor which has an accuracy of 98.99%. The difference between the set point and the feed released by the USV is very close, where the average error value is about 4.98%. The error value becomes smaller when more weight is set.

Automatic Fish Feeder System for Aquaponics using Wi-Fi Based WSN

Aquaponics is a farming method, which is the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics, which grows fish and plants together in one integrated system. The fish waste provides an organic food source for the plants, and the plants naturally filter the water for the fish. The purpose of this project is to build an automatic fish feeder system for aquaponics using image processing technique with the help of Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). This helps the farmers to reduce manual effort and safeguard a balanced food delivery. The number of fish in the pond may vary over time, so the amount of fish feed provided need to be changed. As there will be a large number of fish moving randomly in a pond, the manual tracking and counting of fish is very difficult. It is a time consuming and erroneous process. This work focuses on developing a system that tracks and counts the fish in the pond for aquaponics. This automatic fish identification system processes the video of the entire pond and makes it easier to estimate the count of fish. The frames from the video are processed using Raspberry-Pi board and the count of fish is transmitted through Wi-Fi. Such a system would assist to feed the fish accordingly. Based on the count transferred, a fish feeder mechanism is controlled using NodeMCU at the other end of the Wi-Fi. The amount of fish feed remaining in the feeding box is informed to the user through mobile application.
