Land-Based Aquaculture Monitoring Systems
MONITORING AND CONTROL IN LAND-BASED AQUACULTURE
In hatcheries, RAS facilities, and flow-through aquaculture facilities continuous monitoring of facility inlet and outlet water lines, transmission of measurement results, definition of optimum water values, definition of alarm limits, automatic intervention and control equipment when the optimum values fall below. A controlled and efficient production is achieved by maintaining optimum values, transmitting the alarm measurement to the relevant units in case of alarm, and enabling emergency management by warning.
SENSORS
Measuring sensors that are resistant to corrosion and equipped with optical technology are used. These sensors transmit the measurement results to the main processor. In this technology, which is resistant to severe conditions, the sensors work efficiently for many years with regular control and sensor cleaning.
DATA TRANSMISSION
Software and hardware have been developed that allow instant tracking of measurement results from sensors at the local facility via transmission lines, instant tracking via the cloud, emergency management, access to historical records and alarm situations, graphical analysis, and data recording output. In these systems, unlike hand-held measuring devices, there are no disadvantages such as calibration problems, the need for personnel use, dependence on meteorological conditions and the inability to make measurements in bad weather conditions. It is a technology that is not dependent on humans, continuously measures in all weather conditions and transmits the results, thus enabling a traceable farming system.
ANALYZING CURRENT AND HISTORICAL DATA - EVALUATION
It allows monitoring of instantaneous values and control of changing status. Stock loss, feed loss can be prevented, and operating losses can be prevented. Data control is provided on strategically important issues such as production plan, oxygen and consumable feed consumption, and transfer planning.
