Abstract

Fish farming is a fast growing industry as there is an increasing demand for fish as food and income. It involves the raising of fish commercially in fish pond. Malaysia has been doing traditional way to monitor the fish in fish farming. It caused inconvenience to the user as the data gained may be inaccurate. Technology based system is developed to monitor fish condition in fish pond. LabVIEW and Data Acquisition device such as NI USB 6001 are the most important tools for the project. Sensors, water pump and fish feeding machine are connected to the NI USB 6001 and the data are shown on the laptop screen. Each reading has its own range for the optimal condition of fish. The water level, fish pellets level and temperature were ranged from 19 cm to 21 cm, 3 cm to 10 cm and 27 °C to 30 °C respectively. The readings detected by the sensors are sent to the NI USB 6001 and shown on the laptop screen. Two water pumps are used. Each water pump is operated when the temperature or water level are out of range by sending signal to the water pump to switch on. The DC motor in fish feeding machine is operated based on the time setting in LabVIEW. Based on the result, temperature sensor and water level sensor showed good signs, alarm and water pumps were not operated when they were in range while out of range showed bad signs, alarm and water pumps were operated. Fish pellets level monitoring system has the same condition except that it did not operate water pump. The feeding monitoring system only operates the fish feeding machine when 4 hours had elapsed and off when 10 seconds had elapsed. This project was able to ease the fish farmer's daily life and decrease the fish mortality problem.
