Desarrollo de un sistema dosificador de alimento automatizado para entornos piscícolas

Abstract

The present work shows the development and implementation of a prototype that allows the automation of the feeding and culture of tilapia. In the traditional breeding process, the fish farmer manually spreads the food in the breeding tanks and estimates its quantity in a visual way, to determine if the food is sufficient according to the size of the fish. Unfortunately, this visual feeding is not exact and generates over feeding in the crop. The automation of this process is a system that allows to guarantee the optimal conditions necessary for the establishment and start-up of a fish culture, minimizing associated risks, providing independence and autonomy to the small grower allowing him to improve the quality of life and well-being of his family and his family. The document analyzes and exposes the conditions and factors necessary for the implementation of a fish culture, as well as assesses and justifies the importance of the place to be chosen for the implementation of the crop since all these factors are preponderant to ensure success, profitability and viability of it. It is from all this research that the idea of the implementation of a system of protocolization of fish processes is born, since the study shows that one of the main shortcomings presented in these crops is precisely the inadequate handling of the dosage, the control of variable such as oxygen and temperature, which represent the greatest risk of mortality in fingerlings.
