In reference to task 2 above, as pa of the NOAA funded progra entitled, Developing a<br />

Natonal Marine Electronics Agend with the Massachusetts Centers of Excellence, the Ocic<br />

Institute (Hawaii) conducte a verification tral to demonstrte the operation of computerize<br />

water quaity monitoring in conjunction with a prototy intensive marne shrimp production<br />

system. The objectives of this activity were to ilustrte the effectiveness of a commercially<br />

avaiable system in the routine water quaity management of such systems and to provide<br />

feeback to the instrment manufacturer (Royce Instrments, Inc.) on the effectiveness of the<br />

system in an intensive aquacultura application. This presentation presents a brief description of<br />

the system configuration, the water quaity results obtaed and a video which detals the<br />

instalation and operation of this system.<br />

Objectives<br />

The objectives of task 2 were to (1) demonstrate the effectiveness of an off-the-shelf computer-<br />

base water qualty monitorig system in the routine management of an intensive shrmp pond<br />

system; (2) provide feeback to the instrment manufacturer on the functionality and<br />

effectiveness of the system in an aquaculture setting; and (3) produce a video showing the system<br />

design and operation for the information of potential system users.<br />
