Aquaculture Database System for Culture Practices

Abstract

Aquaculture Database System was developed for
the management of information on aquaculture
practices collected by the research institutes and
other organizations using Integrated Development
Environment of software. In this system, 29 tables
and their corresponding relationships were designed
by one-to-one mapping cardinality. The main
screen was designed into four modules namely,
Entry, Search, User Manual and Exit. The entry
module allows the user to add culture practices
information into their corresponding table for
storing. The search module allows the user to
retrieve the required information from their corresponding
tables. The results can be displayed in the
report format and also it can be exported to
MSWord or MSExcel. In addition, the basic statistical
analyses like frequency, percentage, mean and
standard deviation was designed in the output
screen based on their requirements. The system has
been tested using the farm data collected from the
brackishwater aquaculture area in West Bengal.
Although illustrations are based on the brackishwater,
ADS is general and can act as a model to capture
and analyze the data for all other aquaculture
practices.
