Design, Development & Implementation of Solar Operated Automatic Fish Feeder for any Fish Farming

Mechanical Engineering

Fish farming is one of the most important aqua cultural activities, but farmers are facing many serious problems like diseases partly due to problems with the fish having to cope with poor water quality during cultivation. After the long survey with the farmers in different regions about their practices in farming methods, Auto Switch Aqua Feeder with new technologies replace with automation of the farming methods with their traditional practicing methods unchanged, the design was based on specific parameters which included capacity of culture tank, stocking density, fish biomass, diameter of the feed, angle of repose and bulk density and designed a user interface convenient and compactable for farming. User interface design, and timer controls are implemented for automation of feeding methods and substantially reducing the labor cost and improve the quality of commodity. Water quality will directly affect the growth of aquaculture objects which affects the production and economic benefit.
