  • Development of sensors for measuring fish-generated underwater currents as indicator for feeding behavior

Description

<p>Predicting fish feeding behavior is crucial in improving marine aquaculture production. We are addressing this problem using a novel approach – measuring underwater currents generated by fish, especially at feeding times. In this paper, we present our development of a suite of sensors that will collect these measurements, as we investigate their relationship with fish behavior during feeding. We added we have further developed our sensor suite by adding another current sensor for calibrating the previously developed propeller sensors and tested them along a narrow river to examine the relationship of their measurements. While a strong linear relationship was observed between the measurements, it is difficult for the propeller sensors to measure currents accurately at slower currents. Experiment at the fish farm is still needed to determine if this constraint is acceptable in our application.</p>
