Intelligent conditioning for the intensive production of tilapia in the southern zone of the State of Mexico

Abstract

Fish farming is a fundamental sector of the economy for several communities. Traditionally, the processes inherent to this activity, such as the feeding of the fish, the replacement of water, the control of temperature, the level of ammonium, are carried out manually and empirically; However, in recent years they have begun to incorporate technological tools for their automation. In the present work we seek to integrate intelligent and separate control systems that exist in the market to generate a single intelligent control system, with the ability to control temperature, ammonia, water clarity, food, in such a way that is presented as a flexible and integrated production process, that meets the requirements of aquaculture health, this system should provide, to small producers in the southern area of the State of Mexico, the certainty that your product meets specifications and standards for human consumption. With this study new opportunities for the application of technologies, especially those of low cost, are envisaged, so that they are accessible to the greatest number of fish farmers and their use guarantees the improvement in the processes carried out. It also highlights the importance that the use of alternative energies can have, to make the most of natural resources and minimize the environmental impact.
