Shrimp Health Feed Management

Real Time Water Quality Monitoring
• DO, pH , Temperature

• Analytics on diurnal data to check for deviations

Smartphone based Water Quality Monitoring

• Farmers had to carry water to a lab far away to check

other water quality parameters

• Simplified test procedures to test Ammonia, Nitrite,

Alkalinity, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium

• Camera and Flash of Smartphone are used as

colorimeter.

• Data is recorded digitally on the app.

Automatic Feeders

• Feeding the shrimp with Automatic Feeders

has lot of benefits.

• But the adoption in India is less than 1%

• Assessing the feed trays and regulating the

feed is a real pain
Autonomous Feeding of Shrimp

• On-demand feeding of the shrimp based

on acoustics, water quality, growth models

• Only task of the farmer is to fill the hopper.

• No need to monitor the feed trays.

Autonomous Feeding of Shrimp

• Feeds the shrimp to its full growth potential

• Seed shifted from Nursery

• 24-Hour feeding
Feeding Patterns during White Feces

• High Feed Intake followed by sudden down fall

• 25% drop in survival in 2 weeks, no growth

ShrimpSnap

• Automated feed tray to capture the images of shrimp

• Shrimp Size and distribution are analyzed from those

images

• Disease symptoms are identified via computer vision.
