Nexus Fish Network™ User Manual

The Nexus Fish Network™ system is an AI-powered platform for automating fish pond management. It helps monitor water quality, automate aeration and feeding, reduce costs, improve fish health, and boost productivity.

This system integrates real-time sensor data with artificial intelligence to make intelligent decisions about pond management, reducing manual labor while increasing yield and efficiency.

Hardware

• DO, pH, Temperature, Ammonia Sensors
• Water Level Sensor
• Automatic/Manual Feeder
• Aeration System (Paddle Wheel, Turbo, Diffused Air)
• IoT Controller Box with GSM/4G/Wi-Fi module
• Solar or AC Power Supply (Optional Backup Battery)

Software

• Web & Mobile App (iOS/Android)
• AI Algorithm Engine
• Cloud Database with Secure Backup
• Real-Time Dashboard and Control Panel

1. Install all sensors at recommended pond depth (typically 1-1.5 ft below surface).
2. Connect aerators, feeder, and pump to IoT Controller Box.
3. Power up and ensure network connectivity (mobile data or Wi-Fi).
4. Use the app/web dashboard to register your pond:
   • Pond size & depth
   • Species stocked
   • Stocking weight and number
   • Feed type & FCR
5. Calibrate sensors through the app.

Upon login, the dashboard displays:

• Live water quality data (DO, temp, pH, ammonia)
• Fish biomass & estimated growth
• Aerator and feeder status
• Weather forecast
• Actionable alerts
• Historical charts and reports

The dashboard provides a comprehensive overview of your pond's status with color-coded indicators for quick assessment.

Real-time data is pulled every 5-10 minutes with color-coded status indicators:

• Green zone = Optimal conditions
• Yellow zone = Warning conditions
• Red zone = Critical conditions

Custom thresholds can be set based on species and season. For example:

• DO > 4.5 mg/L for Pangasius
• Temperature between 26-32°C for Tilapia
• pH between 6.5-8.5 for most species

A. Smart Aeration

• Turns aerator ON/OFF based on DO, temperature, fish biomass
• Adjusts runtime to optimize energy use
• Weather-adaptive (e.g., preemptive aeration before rain)

B. Feeding Automation

• AI predicts feeding rate by:
  • Biomass growth
  • SGR model
  • Water temperature and fish activity
• Manual override available

C. Water Exchange Automation

• Triggered when ammonia or pH is out of range
• Suggests volume and duration for water exchange

From the dashboard, you can:

• Start/stop aerators, feeders, or pumps manually
• Override AI-suggested schedules
• Apply emergency protocols

Manual controls provide flexibility while maintaining the safety protocols of the system.

Manually enter:

• Fish stocking data (weight, number, date)
• Feed brand & protein %
• Water visibility (Secchi disk)
• Initial sensor calibration values

Calibration is recommended every 2 weeks or when anomalies are suspected.

The system generates various alerts:

• Low DO or high ammonia warning
• Power failure or aerator malfunction
• Daily feed recommendation
• Weekly water quality trends
• Harvest readiness alerts
• Economic projection (costs vs. revenue)

Alerts are delivered via:

• Push notifications
• SMS messages
• Email alerts
• In-app notifications

Download or view:

• Weekly water quality report
• Growth forecast and biomass projection
• Feed efficiency & FCR chart
• Economic projection (cost vs. expected income)

All data is exportable in PDF or Excel format.

• Clean sensors every 7-10 days
• Check IoT box moisture sealing monthly
• Replace faulty sensors as needed
• Ensure feeder and aerator motors are not clogged
• Review firmware updates via the dashboard
