Abstract

Aquaculture has emerged as a critical component in satisfying the world's increasing demand for high-quality protein while relieving strain on wild fish populations. Oreochromis niloticus, also known as Nile tilapia, is one of the most economically important aquaculture species. Optimizing manufacturing efficiency and limiting resource waste, on the other hand, remains a difficulty. The construction of an Intelligent Recirculating Aquaculture System (IRAS) powered by a Feed-Conversion-Ratio (FCR)-based Machine Learning (ML) framework is used in this study to improve the sustainability and productivity of Oreochromis niloticus aquaculture. To establish a closed-loop aquaculture environment, the IRAS incorporates advanced sensor technologies, real-time data monitoring, and control systems. The use of machine learning algorithms trained on historical and real-time FCR data to anticipate and improve the feeding regime for Nile tilapia is central to this approach. The ML model modifies feeding schedules and quantities to enhance growth while decreasing feed waste and the associated environmental effects by continuously learning from FCR patterns. Furthermore, this study shows the feasibility and usefulness of the FCR-based ML strategy in enhancing feed utilization efficiency, growth rates, and overall performance of Oreochromis niloticus in an IRAS through a series of studies. The results show a significant reduction in feed waste and expenses, resulting in improved economic viability and environmental sustainability of the aquaculture system. Furthermore, the ML-driven system adapts to changing environmental conditions and improves the fish population's general health and well-being..
