This research addresses the inefficiencies in manual catfish sorting and sales data management encountered by small-scale farmers. The study designs and implements an automated sorting machine integrated with a quantity counting and sales price calculation system. The machine employs a three-tiered aluminum sieve mechanism to sort catfish by size (large, medium, small). An automated counting system utilizing a photodiode sensor and KY-008 laser module tallies the fish in each category. System data is displayed locally on a 16x2 LCD and transmitted remotely to an Android smartphone application. The application allows users to set selling prices and log sales transactions, with data automatically synced to a Google Spreadsheet for record-keeping. Testing results demonstrated the system's functionality: a sorting trial yielded counts of 1 large, 14 medium, and 3 small catfish (total 18), while a sales simulation correctly counted 1 large, 5 medium, and 2 small fish. The "SAVE" and "SELL" buttons in the application successfully triggered data storage and automated price calculations in the spreadsheet. The integrated system provides a practical solution to automate sorting, counting, and sales documentation, thereby improving operational efficiency and accuracy for catfish farmers.
