IoT based aquaculture monitoring and control system

Abstract

Aquaculture, which has the potential to feed the globe in the upcoming era, needs smart innovative technology for its growth. An aqua farmer's daily routine involves keeping track of the water parameter which affects the growth of fish and shrimps. While some farmers use handheld meters for each parameter, others give their pond water sample to laboratory for testing. Which is time consuming and the results may not be as accurate as real time measurement at the pond site. The system proposed includes of six sensors measuring important water parameters for monitoring the growth of fish, shrimp, and other aquatic organisms. The measured values from the sensors are compared with the established data and an alert message is processed in the form of SMS through web server.
