Abstract

Outdoor pond aquaculture feeding yields significantly vary with water quality evaluation, estimation, and control. However, several issues challenge the accuracy of water evaluation, such as inexplicable missing data in acquired parameters and strong coupling and time-lag correlations among multiple parameters. Inaccurate water evaluation results further introduce errors into the estimation and control processes, potentially leading to sudden losses in aquaculture. Therefore, a real-time water parameter monitoring device is firstly designed in this research, featuring an ESP32 microcontroller and an embedded MATLAB application. This device allows real-time data on ammonia nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, pH value, water temperature, and water depth to be transmitted to the cloud platform, specifically the OneNet IoT platform. Based on the device design, an innovative method with VMD-LSTM-XGBoost structure for parameter decomposition and reconstruction to extraction of temporal information among parameters and the supplementation of missing data. Meanwhile, the Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA) is employed for decomposition numbers optimization. Furthermore, the combination of AHP-CV-normal cloud model is designed to improve the accuracy of water quality evaluation. Finally, an integrated learning model is constructed to improve the accuracy of water quality prediction. This research optimized the decomposition of 4 parameter groups into 34 sets of time-series data based on collected data and completed missing parameter supplementation. The experimental validation shows that the proposed AHP-CV-normal cloud model for water quality assessment achieves a classification accuracy rate of over 98%, demonstrating good feasibility. The designed VMD-LSTM-XGBoost hybrid model achieves a test accuracy of 96.209% on the validation set, demonstrating strong predictive performance. This research provides an effective solution for monitoring water quality parameters, data imputation, water quality assessment, and prediction in the complex environment of outdoor pond aquaculture, offering theoretical support for feeding strategies.

Abstract
针对江水浊度序列宽频、非线性、非平稳的特点,将经验模态分解(EMD)和支持向量机(SVM)回归方法引入浊度预测领域,建立了基于EMD-SVM的浊度预测模型.通过EMD分解,将原始非平稳的浊度序列分解为若干固有模态分量(IMF),根据各IMF序列的特点,选择不同的参数对各IMF序列进行预测,最后合成原始序列的预测值.将该方法应用于实际浊度预测,并与径向基神经网络(RBF)预测及单独支持向量机回归预测结果进行比较,仿真结果表明该方法预测精度有明显提高.

Breeding in large-scale marine aquafarms faces many challenges in terms of precise feeding, including real-time decisions as to the precise feeding amount, along with disturbances caused by the feeding speed and the moving speed of feeding equipment. Involving many spatiotemporal distributed parameters and variables, an effective predictive model for environment and growth stage perception is yet to obtained, further preventing the development of precise feeding strategies and feeding equipment. Therefore, in this paper, a hierarchical type-2 fuzzy system based on a quasi-Gaussian membership function for fast, precise, on-site feeding decisions is proposed and validated. The designed system consists of two layers of decision subsystems, taking in different sources of data and expert experience in feeding but avoiding the rule explosion issue. Meanwhile, the water quality evaluation is considered as the secondary membership function for type-2 fuzzy sets and used to adjust the parameters of the quasi-Gaussian membership function, decreasing the calculation load in type reduction. The proposed system is validated, and the results indicate that the shape of the primary fuzzy sets is altered with the secondary membership, which influences the defuzzification results accordingly. Meanwhile, the hardware of feeding bins for UAVs with variable-speed coupling control systems with disturbance compensation is improved and validated. The results indicate that the feeding speed can follow the disturbance in the level flying speed.
