Abstract: Agriculture has a key role in the Philippines economy, particularly the fisheries industry, which contributes 15% of the country’s overall income. The sector offers significant employment and income opportunities for various parts of the population, contributes to export earnings, and meets a substantial portion of the population’s protein nutritional requirements. In terms of employment, the fisheries sector employs over one million people, accounting for approximately 5% of the nation’s workforce. The general objective of the study is to develop a portable bangus fry counter for the University of Antique – Hamtic Campus, Hamtic, Antique, and to create an affordable fry counter for local fish fry vendors, fish pond owners, and others who can benefit from this thesis. The researchers used the Arduino as the operating system, the light sensor for input, and the LCD for output. For data gathering, the researchers used the ISO 25010 characteristic, the weighted mean formula to calculate the mean, and the Likert scale. The prototype demonstrated excellent performance in counting the quantities of bangus fry. Based on the evaluation results, the participants strongly agreed with the device’s functionality, reliability, portability, maintainability, security, compatibility, performance efficiency, and usability.
