ABSTRACT
 Proper feeding of the fish is necessary to make
them stress free and to get better yield in fish pond
management.
 A Floating mechanism “Embedded Auto Fish
Feeder” is developed which feeds fish at regular
interval .
 It also measures the pond parameters like dissolved
oxygen, pH and temperature
 The system operates with a 12 V DC rechargeable
battery which at fully charged can full fill 3-4 days of
feed and sensing of pond parameters
INTRODUCTION
 Aquaculture and fisheries are important for the incomes
and food supply of millions of people worldwide.
 India is the resource of various kinds of fishes and diverse
water resources.
 India occupies third position in global scenario in terms of
production of fishes.
 One of the reasons for low annual production in India is
due to traditional fish farming practices and outdated fish
capturing techniques used in fish farming.
 Auto feeding system is helpful in providing timely good
quality supplementary feed as well as monitoring the pond
water quality.
 This auto feeder system feeds the fish automatically at
regular interval of time which reduces the cost for feeding
of fish and the wastage of feed.
SYSTEM DESIGN
SYSTEM
 A tripod based support system is build for holding the feed
container at the top using high quality metal rods on top of
the hexagonal shape pipe structure.
 All the components like blower, battery, sensor unit, feed
container and embedded system are fixed on it.
SENSORS
We are using four sensors mainly
 Dissolved oxygen (DO) (0-200%)

 Fishes need greater than 5mg/l of dissolved oxygen in


water.
 Temperature (0-100°C)

 A good range is about 25°C-29°C


 PH (0-14)

 Salt water fishes prefer pH of 8.0 and above


 Fresh water fishes prefer pH between 5.5-7.5
FOOD CONTAINER
 Feed container unit is a low cost, low weight plastic (PVC)
unbreakable unit.
 It can hold maximum up to 10 Kg feed.
 The feed container is fitted with feed detection unit and
feed controller.
 Feed detection unit will raise an alarm if the feed in the
container is less than 5%.

FEED CONTROLLER
 Feed controller unit controls the opening and closing of the
feed container.
 It consists of DC geared motor to open and close, sliding
door.

 BLOWER
 DC Blower is used to blow the feed into the pond and
outside the auto feeder system.
 The operation of blower is controlled by the embedded
controller.
 The blower is placed exactly below to the feed container
and a funnel is fitted on top of the blower to collect the
feed.
Embedded Controller
 An embedded controller (EC) is a microcontroller in
computers that handles various system tasks that the
operating system does not handle.
 It controls the operation of the auto feeder system.
 The system main functions are pond parameters
measurement, data validation, storage, feed control, blower
operation and self diagnostic check with indications like
feed container empty, battery low, parameter out of limit
etc.
 The entire auto feeder system runs with a 12 V DC
rechargeable battery.

ADVANTAGES
 Automatic fish feeding system will improves food efficiency.
 This also reduces labour costs.
 It is difficult to feed fish during night, with this we can feed
at any time.
CONCLUSION
 With Embedded Auto Fish Feeder we can
systamatically feed fishes and we can get enough
resources from that fishes.
