IoT-Based Real-Time Aquaculture Health Monitoring System

Abstract

Aquaculture fastest growing business worldwide especially in developing countries. Fisheries are marine species and required an oceanic environment where fisheries could grow and live naturally. Off-shore aquaculture businesses need a real-time water quality monitoring system. So, aquafarmers could maintain the required environment for a sustainable and profitable business. This work represents an IoT-based realtime health management system designed for aquaculture and considered the most required health metrics for aquaculture. The proposed system used four primary sensors: water level, temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen. Sensors connected with microcontroller Arduino Uno R3 and ESP 8266 wi-fi module are used for data transmission to the IoT source ThingSpeak. The designed system could access online through the web interface and phone App for aquafarmers. The sensor data was accurate, and the system worked as designed.
