Abstract: There is provided a smart aquaculture grow out system for aquatic species, the system includes a feeder adapted to store aquafeed, the feeder comprising a feed dispensing nozzle, a feed dispenser operable to measure and project aquafeed via the feed dispensing nozzle, and a controller operatively being operable to selectively activate and deactivate the feed dispenser. A set of sensors are operable to acquire sensor data comprising water quality parameters of a pond adjacent to the feeder and images of aquatic species in the pond. A processor receives the sensor data of the grow out system, and determines, based on the sensor data of the grow out system, a metered quantity of aquafeed to provide. The processor transmits a control signal to the controller causing activation of the feed dispenser to measure and project the metered quantity of aquafeed via the feed dispensing nozzle.
