Problem Statement • Fishkill hit Pangasinan and Batangas (LLDA) • Central Luzon experience more than 10 million damage in the fishery industry.
Damages due to Fishkill as Reported by Fishpond Operators Php 60/Kg
DAMAGES DUE TO FISH KILL • On May 27, 2011, a massive fish die-off occurred on Taal Lake, in Batangas Province. Over 800 metric tons of bangus and talapia died, which affected the areas of Angono, Laurel, Talisay, Tanauan City, and San Nicolas. In mid-June, more fish died, this time near Cuenca and Lipa City. More kills have occurred well into July. • World Mind Network (Batangas Fish kill Research Group) • Fishkill losses in Taal Lake and Pangasinan have reached P190 million.In Taal Lake alone, the DENR reported that from May 27 until June 8, there were 2,056 metric tons of bangus have been lost from 239 fish cages in 9 municipalities, amounting to P144 million.
Objectives • To develop a technology that could remotely monitor the level of dissolve oxygen (DO), temperature and salinity (NaCl) of water in the fishpond. • To use wireless technology in maintaining the required level of DO, temperature and salinity in fish production system. • To prevent or at least lessen damages brought about by fish kills for sustainable food production.
Project Description Management of aquaculture environment by monitoring the measured parts per thousand (ppt) of NaCl and milligram per liter (mg/L) of DO. The micro controller unit (MCU) will serve as the main link between the surroundings and the databank. The Information will then be sent to the client’s mobile unit. Estimated Project Cost: 168,000/fishpond installation

Experimental Set-Up • Sensors for DO, Salinity & temperaturewereinstalled and monitored. • MCU processed the sensors’ data. • Databankrecorded MCU signal for furtheranalysis, and sent information to the caretakers’/ operators’ mobile phone throughwirelesstechnology. • The occurrence of fishkillwasmonitoreddaily
Market Potential • This easy, fast and convenient system can surely help our fishery industry by preventing losses due to fish kill, because fishpond owners can remotely monitor and control the condition of water in their fishponds.
SUMMARY • Sensors and wireless communication systems that were used in the study proved that we can remotely monitor the dissolved oxygen, salinity and temperature levels of water in the fishpond • It also proved that through the use of these advanced technologies we could also remotely manipulate and control devices & equipment such as air compressors and electric water pumps used in the fishpond, thus preventing fish kill.
CONCLUSION • Fishkill could be prevented if the level of dissolved oxygen, temperature and salinity will not reach beyond critical level. This could be remotely monitored and manipulated through the use of sensors and wireless communication systems.
THAT’S ALL • THANK YOU VERY MCUH!!!
