Abstract

This paper deals with the design of an automated system to increase the yield of shrimp farming in the country. There are three factors involved in designing an aqua form automation system (AFAS). The first factor is to get the maximum egg to postlarva conversion. The second factor is to make the farming environment contamination-free, and the third factor is to conserve electrical energy, which is the need of the hour for the economy. Several experiments have been conducted to make the system robust, foolproof, and ready for commercial usage. This system has reduced manpower while giving leverage to the consumer in terms of investment.
