Abstract

This article presents a control system of a fish farm dealing with intensive fish culture. The control system consists of two parts – automation system and optimization package. The automation system watches and controls environment parameters, fish feeding, etc. and offers more comfort to the maintenance, e.g. in the field of scheduled tasks to be performed or concerning alarms signalling.The optimization part schedules the farm production policy in order to maximize its economic profit. It optimizes which pond will be occupied by which fish, and further actions like fish sales and purchases, selection of optimum food type etc.
