the configuration of the gateway is shown in Fig 5. The junction of the two is fed into an analog pin of the Arduino
board. Thus the Arduino takes analog reading of the sensors
making the system more versatile. It takes two initial reading of
the sensors, one with LASERs on and the other with LASERs
turned off. Then it averages the two readings to get a center
value. Any reading above this center value is considered high
and that below as low. This process helps reduce the
environmental effects on the sensors.

The flow chart of the system is shown in Fig 6 has very low power requirements. Any damaged part in the

modification. So we are hopeful, our security system will
provide investors in aquaculture with the required security.
