The Prototype of a Smart Underwater Surveillance System for Shrimp Farming

Abstract

Shrimp is one of the most important aquaculture products in Taiwan but has suffered a decreasing breeding rate these recent years. It's difficult to observe their feeding, growth and health due to the muddy and turbid water conditions in shrimp farms. This paper presents the prototype of an underwater surveillance system, which consists of hardware and software to provide underwater observation and automatic analysis for the purpose of smart feeding control and water quality management, and thus improve the farm's productivity.
