Investigation of aquacultural feeding and monitoring systems in Turkey

Aquaculture, the sector has grown rapidly for last decades and will be one of the most important sector in the future. Our country is placed in an important role in the world fish market especially on marine fish farming in 10 years. Turkey shows a great development in the last 10 years, especially in the cultivation of marine fish has taken its place in the world market. This study was conducted from February 2013 and June 2014 and the last assessment continued until May 2019. In this study, barge, boat hull and monitoring systems used for automation purposes in Aegean, Mediterranean and Eastern Anatolia regions; 93 passive feeders, 187 automatic feed systems, 106 feeding boats and 82 barges. Results of survey conducted in 15 companies, fort his purpose, both imported and domestic feed giving and camera systems were observed. Aquaculture is found to mechanization and automation at every stage of aquacultural production. In general, increased the importance of aquaculture in the sea of work to be done and feed related automation applications. In parallel, due to change in the relevant legislation at 2009, the fish farm companies has moved their production cages from the shore to the open sea. Although costs are increased rapidly and the amount of production capacity decreased. Done by manpower in the routine business with the industry's growth has become more difficult. Therefore it has become necessary to use modern equipment and automation. In general, the application concentration in feed delivery system is the main objective of this study. Fish production cost are rapidly increasing their sales prices did not show much change in the last 10 years. In this case, the manufacturer is usually obliged to make farming with minimum cost. Aquaculture feed and feeding studies, labor -intensive enterprises as one of the most important activities is a study that led to the loss of time. In conclusion; the work force in business automation and prevent the loss of time and the absence of an economic recovery in the long term. In this study, aquaculture applied supply systems and monitoring and control system of the situation of our country in the business, distribution, suppliers of cases, particularly with the common reaches usage barge systems, with their technical characteristics of aquaculture discussed the importance of farming and evaluated.
