The integration of machine learning (ML) in aquaculture enables data-driven fish species recommendations based on water quality parameters. Traditional fish farming faces challenges like manual monitoring, inefficient species selection, and unpredictable water conditions, leading to economic losses. This paper presents a software-based fish recommendation system using ML models to analyze seven key water parameters—pH, Temperature, Turbidity, TDS, Dissolved Oxygen, Nitrate, and Ammonia. Various ML algorithms, including Random Forest, XGBoost, and SVM, were evaluated, with the optimized model achieving over 90% accuracy. A graphical user interface (GUI) allows users to input parameters and receive real-time recommendations, enhancing efficiency and sustainability in aquaculture.
