IoT-Driven Fish Monitoring System for Enhanced Aquaculture Management

Abstract

Aquaculture primarily involves cultivating aquatic organisms by providing suitable environments for various purposes, including commercial, recreational, and public uses. This paper aims to enhance fish production and maintain the aquatic environment of aquaculture in Bangladesh. It presents the use of Internet of Things (IoT) based devices to monitor the essential needs of aquaculture and support fisheries. By using these devices, various water parameters will be monitored to create a better living environment for fish. The devices include sensors that detect the Potential of Hydrogen (pH) level and water temperature. Additionally, there are sections for measuring dissolved oxygen and ammonia levels using testing kits, which are crucial for proper fish farming. An Android-based mobile application has also been developed. In this system, farmers, fishermen, and individuals involved in aquaculture will use the Android application. Through this application and with the help of the device, users will be notified about the levels of dissolved oxygen, ammonia, pH, and water temperature. This monitoring system will help fish farmers take necessary steps to prevent any disturbances in the aquatic environment. Given that Bangladesh is a riverine country and fish farming significantly impacts its economy, maintaining good health to produce more fish is essential. However, the country's fisheries may lack the expertise to understand the essential elements required for fish growth and management. This system could assist them in measuring parameters and providing the necessary resources to increase fish production.
