Segregating Brain and Brawn
Microcontrollers cannot handle neural inference, and single-board computers are poorly suited for high-reliability sensor polling and high-voltage AC contactor triggering. A robust edge deployment requires strict separation of concerns.

The Edge Vision Brain
A Raspberry Pi 4 Model B runs quantized YOLOv8 models locally over pond sluice gates. By tallying fingerlings non-invasively through camera feeds, we eliminated the severe physical netting stress responsible for high stock mortality.

The Dedicated Actuator Brawn
An ESP32 microcontroller continuously polls submersible analog pH and dissolved oxygen probes. When DO drops beneath safety thresholds, hardware-isolated 5V relays engage paddlewheel aerators automatically.

Cyber-Physical Cohesion
By piping telemetry data to a real-time Supabase dashboard over WebSockets, aquaculture operators receive immediate farm-wide visibility and emergency manual overrides from anywhere.
