This present study was undertaken in order to analyze and compare the fish consumption rate and nutritional status of children among these areas. Nutritional status of the target children (both sex) were analyzed with the help of anthropometric measurements which included weight, height Body Mass Index (BMI) and fish consumption rate. This study found that the average heights for both male and female children were 1.16 m, 1.15 m and 1.13 m in urban, sub-urban and rural areas respectively. At the same time, the average weight was 20.08 kg, 19.19 kg and 18.19 kg in urban, sub-urban and rural areas respectively. On the other hand, the average BMI for both sex were 17.35, 14.69 and 14.36 in urban, sub-urban and rural areas respectively. The average fish consumption rate were also calculated and the highest average fish consumption were found in urban area which was 88.98 g and lowest average fish consumption were found in rural area that was 81.85 g for both sex. These findings also revealed that the children in rural area were stunted, underweight and severe thinness than urban and suburban areas.

It inhabits fresh and brackish waters of the Indian subcontinent and southeast Asia. The natural food spectrum of A. testudineus juveniles is very wide; larvae and young fry feed on phytoplankton and zooplankton while large fry (and adults) feed on crustaceans, worms, mollusks, algae, soft higher plants, and organic debris. Adults feed mainly on insects. Reproduction occurs in low lying swamps, paddies, lakes, pools, small pits, ditches, streams, rivers, and irrigation canals. A. testudineus attains sexual maturity in the first year. It is categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (ICUN) as a vulnerable species.

Although, Brine shrimp grow well in artificial condition as they are very sensitive on temperature of water. Monitoring all the parameters to see at what degrees the hatching performance is good has been constraint for the marine fisheries. In this project we have attempted to automate a remote sensing process by introducing digital temperature, humidity level measuring sensors to capture and monitor air and water temperature in hatchery.
