Design and Deployment of Aqua Monitoring System Using Wireless Sensor Networks and IAR-Kick

Abstract

In Aquaculture, the yields (shrimp, fish etc.) depend on the water characteristics of the aquaculture pond. For maximizing fish yields, the parameters which are to be kept at certain optimal levels in water. The parameters can vary a lot during the period of a day and can rapidly change depending on the external environmental conditions. Hence it is necessary to monitor these parameters with high frequency . Wireless sensor networks are used to monitor aqua farms for relevant parameters this system consists of two modules which are transmitter station and receiver station. The data transmits through GSM to the Database at receiver station. The graphical user interface was designed, to convey the data in the form of a message to the farmers in their respective local languages to their Mobile Phones and alerts them in unhygienic environmental conditions, in order to take suitable actions.
