Previous endeavors to boost fish farming has been retarded by invasion of fish ponds and lakes by harmful cyanobacteria. The Kenya vision 2030 launched in the year 2008 is aimed at transforming the country into a middle income earning country, right from the current third world state, it is currently in. However, studies that have been conducted previously indicate that practicing prudent control of harmful cyanobacteria has led to the increase of fish production from fish ponds. However, these studies used chemical methods to control the harmful cyanobacteria. Therefore this study sought to investigate the effect of the algae eradicator, which produces ultrasound, on harmful cyanobacteria. The specific objectives of this study were to provide a non-chemical method of controlling cyanobacteria found in fishponds; to save the dwindling aquaculture sector in Kenya because of effects caused by cyanobacteria and to boost food security, since fish is consumed by more than 70% of Kenyans. The data was collected from Kegati Aquaculture Research center, in Kisii town, Kisii County, Kenya. This study analyzed data using descriptive and regression analysis. Where the work of other authors was used, due acknowledgement was done. Where the work of other authors was used, due acknowledgement was done. The researcher obtained a research permit from St Angela Sengera Girls’ High school in order to enable collection of data. It was concluded that cyanobacteria is a major threat to ponds, which is a habitat of fish. The study also concluded that ultrasound is the fastest method of eradicating cyanobacteria in fish ponds. The study finally concluded that ultrasound is the most efficient method of eradicating cyanobacteria in fish ponds. This study recommends that the government implement this gadget on a large scale basis so as to achieve vision 2030 goals.
