A robust fish feeding system

Abstract

Fish in the hatcheries are sold by weight. For making the fish gain weight the fish need to swim (exercise) when the feed is provided which is thrown at specific place in the pond randomly. The problem is how to distribute the fish feed around the pond and develop such device that feed should be evenly distributed in pond which enable the fish to swim across the pond to gain maximum weight Our approach to the problem is to make a robotic boat comprising of SONAR & Ultrasonic sensors which detects the fish in the water on which it is floating. After detecting the fish, the robotic boat drops the feed while moving away from it. This makes the fish to move and follow the boat in order to eat the feed. With this the fish gains additional weight and become healthy.
