Abstract – Aquaculture plays a significant role in satisfying the growing global demand for seafood products. However, maintaining optimal water quality and ensuring the health of aquatic organisms remain major challenges for fish farmers. Factors such as temperature fluctuations, dissolved oxygen levels, pH imbalance, and water contamination can significantly affect fish growth and lead to economic losses if not monitored properly.
Traditionally, aquaculture management relies on manual monitoring and periodic testing of water quality parameters. These methods are time-consuming, less accurate, and often fail to provide real-time insights, making it difficult to respond quickly to unfavorable conditions. As a result, there is a need for an automated, efficient, and reliable system to manage aquaculture environments.
To address these issues, this project proposes an IoT Enabled Aquaculture Management System that provides continuous monitoring and intelligent control of water quality parameters. The system utilizes various sensors to measure key factors such as temperature, pH, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen in real time. The collected data is processed using a microcontroller and transmitted to a cloud platform through IoT technology.
Based on the sensor data, the system can automatically control devices such as aerators, water pumps, and feeding mechanisms to maintain optimal conditions for aquatic life. In addition, farmers can monitor real-time data and receive alerts through a mobile application, enabling remote supervision and timely intervention when abnormal conditions are detected.
Overall, the proposed system improves efficiency, reduces manual effort, enables real-time monitoring, and enhances productivity in aquaculture operations. By integrating IoT technology with smart automation, the proposed solution aims to ensure sustainable fish farming and maximize yield while minimizing resource wastage.
