Smart Aquaculture System: A Remote Feeding System with Smartphones

The problem of open water aquaculture using submersible fish cages is to reduce costs of labor and feed. In this paper, we propose the Smart Aquaculture System to reduce labor and feed costs by the labor saving of aquaculture, including automated feeding and continuous observation of cages, optimization of a timing and an amount of feeding. As a part of the system, we implemented the Remote Feeding System comprised of a feeding device equipped inside the cage and a smartphone to control the device remotely. We confirmed the proper operation through field experiments including underwater.
