The Design of Prototype of Digital Baby Cat Fishes (Clarias fuscus) Counter

Abstract

Up to date, the counting of alive baby jishes are done manually using sampling methods, which are very subjective, inaccurate, slow, and tiresome. This paper presents a digital instrument for counting alive baby jishes to overcome some of the problems of the manual methods. The counter has been designed and implemented for counting baby cat fishes (Lele Dumbo, Clarias fuscus). The result of the implementation and recommendations for future improvements are discussed.
