Iot based fish farming and monitoring system

Abstract

Current human population is 7.8 million and the growth rate is around 1.05% per year hence food demand is also increasing accordingly. Globally 155 million tons of fish production is consumed by humans. Fish for human consumption is anticipated to rise by 16.3% globally by 2029. Vitamins, minerals, protein, and nutrients are abundant in fish. To provide the market with healthy food and meet consumer demand is a difficult task for farmers. The supply and demand for fish are not being met, and aquaculture can help. Aquaculture involves cultivating freshwater and saltwater fish under controlled or semi-controlled natural conditions. But many farmers are facing huge losses due to inadequate management and manual equipment. Many farmers want to start aquaculture but don't have enough knowledge to start. Use of IoT will bring automation in the aquaculture field. Farmers that use a conventional method manually measure, check, and manage the aquaculture's water quality, water level, oxygen level, and stress level. In this work, we presented a smart aquaculture model based on the Internet of Things (IoT) that will assess water quality (pH, water level, temperature, turbidity) and maintain water quality (change water, add chemical to the water, give food to the fish) for aquaculture. In this work, we will develop a device with wireless modules and sensors and a web application where the real time data will be displayed and manage the whole aquaculture.
