Technical documentation for an aquaculture plant must clearly represent the ambient-temperature water, hot-water, aeration, thermal-energy, and auxiliary-service paths that support its operation. This study organized information from field walkdowns, available records, and consultations conducted during data collection. A team of three Electronics and Automation students, with instructor guidance and review, identified equipment, piping, valves, instruments, and connections and transferred the information into piping and instrumentation diagrams prepared using ISA-5.1 symbology. The resulting package contains 51 P&ID sheets and represents the relationships among water intake and pumping, gravel filters, reservoirs, boilers, heat distribution, recirculation, production rooms, aeration, and the LPG station. The findings are descriptive: they document the observed functional configuration and provide a potential basis for locating assets, interpreting continuity between plant areas, supporting maintenance, and preserving technical knowledge. The authors claim no performance improvements or quantitative indicators unless supported by facility measurements.
