Profile Title: Aquaculture Expert, Technology Innovator, Instructor

Profile Description:

Welcome to the world of sustainable aquaculture and cutting-edge technology and be ready to dive into the world of aquaculture with me, Sunil Chandra, an esteemed life member of Scafi. With over 7 years of hands-on experience in aquaculture, I have not only immersed myself in the intricacies of the field but have also pioneered innovative solutions that push the boundaries of sustainable fish farming.

My journey in aquaculture has been marked by the development of cutting-edge solutions. I have not only designed but also personally fabricated my own Technology-Enabled Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS). Taking automation to the next level, I've created and implemented custom programmable logic cards, leveraging my proficiency in the Python language for precise automation and controls using microprocessors and cloud platform ensuring optimal conditions for aquatic life in my RAS.

A testament to my expertise is the successful pilot project on the grow-out culture of Asian seabass in collaboration with CIBA, ICAR, Chennai. This project not only demonstrated the practical application of my technology for Asian seabass culture but also showcased the potential for sustainable and efficient aquaculture practices.

Beyond RAS, my ventures into pond aquaculture span 2 acres of ponds dedicated to tropical food fish. Since November 7th, 2019, I've been leading an experimental Biofloc culture, achieving an exceptional feat of ZERO WATER EXCHANGE. Over 1.5 years, I meticulously monitored 9 parameters daily, accumulating invaluable data and practical insights.

My commitment to data-driven decision-making is evident in my documentation of various grow-out culture projects using RAS and Biofloc technology. I have harnessed this data to create comprehensive Excel sheets, providing a complete projection and logical analysis of periodic growth, feed consumption, expenditure, sales, profit, and contingency for the whole grow-out culture endeavors.

Through my upcoming courses, I am excited to share not just theoretical knowledge but the practical insights gained from years of passionate hands-on experiences. Join me on a journey where innovation meets expertise, and together, we'll explore the boundless practical possibilities in the dynamic world of aquaculture for the betterment of our aquatic ecosystems and fellow human beings.
