A major problem faced in the fishing industry has to do with lack of preservation linked with long storage time. These circumstances lead to the spoilage of the fish, thereby throwing the hard work and sweat of all fish folk into the cold dark abyss from whence the aquatic creatures came. Prior to their capture, fishes also stand a chance of dying prematurely as a result of a respective increase or decrease in pH or temperature. This event in turn leads to low production and income rate in fish farming since the dead fishes are rendered uneatable.
“Teamwork Makes the Dream work !”
The Team
With this problem in mind, The Aquarium was born. The Aquarium is a team consisting of 7 juniors from Ashesi University, Ghana:
1. Hannah Lormenyo (Electrical & Electronics Engineering)
2. Edinam Klutse (Computer Engineering)
3. Kwasi Owusu-Nyampong (Electrical & Electronics Engineering)
4. Nana Parker (Computer Engineering)
5. Petit Koranteng (Electrical & Electronics Engineering)
6. William Akuffo (Electrical & Electronics Engineering)
7. Oscar Uwayo (Computer Engineering)
The ideology behind the foundation of The Aquarium is centered around the effective preservation of the lives of the fishes up until they are caught by the fishermen. The Aquarium seeks to create a sensor package to monitor the state of the water body in the prey of the fishermen reside. The sensor package would, in theory, monitor the pH and temperature values as well as upload the respective values to a database which can be accessed via friendly interface.
