Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This manuscript structure is not suitable for an engineering journal. It is better author submit it at a mathematics journal.

Also, novelty of this study is not clear.

Reviewer 2 Report

Authors have provided very interesting and useful application of the fuzzy logic method for evaluation of aquaculture water quality regarding particular quality parameters. Methodology is well developed and explained in detail, as well as defuzzification. I am proposing a major revision due to some lack of explanations.

1) Why have authors selected these particular water quality parameters for testing [4-6]? This is only for the case study, i.e. observed location in China?2) Why haven't the authors described the observed location? There is a lack of map, site description, pictures of the microlocation...

3) Subchapter ''4.1. Related studies on water quality evaluation'' does not have the right place in the Discussion. This should be incorporated into the review section/introduction.

4) English language and grammar is at a low level. Authors should handle this.

Abstract is not fit for this manuscript, please re-write it again.

Materials and method section needs more references.

Tables 4 and 5 need more explanation.

Provide some recommendation in Conclusion section.
