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 />
