Precise feeding is an effective guarantee to improve the welfare of aquatic animals, increase culture efficiency and reduce environmental pollution, whereas internet of things (IoT) technology is an important means to promote the development of informatization and intelligence of aquaculture. In order to improve the precision, informatization and intelligence of fish feeding management, this paper proposed a multi-factor feeding system based on IoT technology, which integrates feeding management model, water quality monitoring system, fish feeding activity sensor, automatic feeding machine and software platform. Through the step-by-step regulation of general control + fine adjustment + precision adjustment to adjust the feeding amount, feeding speed and feeding duration of the automatic feeding machine, the system can not only achieve the precise and intelligent control of the feeding operation, but also realize the remote centralized management of cultured ponds or tanks. Through the comparison between the intelligent feeding system and the manual feeding system, the results showed that the use of the system not only improved the growth of fish, but also reduced the feed consumption and discharge of nitrogen and phosphorus wastes. The successful application of the feeding system confirms the effectiveness, convenience, and provides data and technical support for future modern and sustainable development of aquaculture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
