A control system development for submersible sea cage system

Abstract

This paper proposes a flexible control system design for use in offshore aquaculture systems. The system proposed will provide a single integrated control solution to the variety of control tasks required on commercial submersible fish cages i.e. control of feeding, control of buoyancy and in addition, provide functionalities such as external hazard detection and prevention. The control system is being developed with the view to augmenting the functionality of existing sea cage systems and automating functionality such as cage submersible capabilities. ©2007 MTS.
