Description

Abstract  

The increase in growth of fish farming/aquaculture has led to a lot of research work in this field. Management of food delivered plays an important role here. The purpose of this research is to reduce the manual work and save labour time through making system automated. This is related to a system device which feeds the fishes with predetermined amount of food at the decided time. The principle of the working model is based on controlling the amount of food fed in the fish tank unit at different intervals of time. The prototype which is a combination of mechanical and electrical devices, uses the concept of step wise rotation of stepper motor for giving precise amount of food output in proper time thus, saving labour time . This helps in order to get good spreading of food across the water body and by own it feeds the fishes after a day, thereby making the system reliable and accurate. The fish feeder system prototype is the technique which can be used in the aquaculture or fish farming if implemented on large scale.
