Patent ID: 11493629

Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of sonar acoustic pulses to provide information about the status and composition of aquaculture farming tanks or ponds. In particular, the invention is directed to processes and systems comprising: a acoustic pulse transducer configured to transmit a acoustic pulse into an aquaculture farming tank or pond, a network of underwater sonar signal receivers; a computer connected to the network of underwater sonar signal receivers, said computer having a processor and memory, said memory having computer programming instructions saved thereon and executable on the processor, said computer programming instructions configured for receiving and comparing a signal difference between the acoustic pulse and the scattered return signal and for using the signal difference to output a signal difference data point related to a calculated shrimp biomass and distribution in the aquaculture farming tank or pond; a computer display connected to the computer and configured to display the signal difference data point related the calculated shrimp biomass and distribution.
