IOT Based Intelligent Monitoring and Analytics Systems for Sustainable Aquaculture

Implementing innovative farming practices becomes imperative for a country whose economy relies heavily on agricultural products. Over recent years, the swift process of urbanization and the depletion of forests have influenced farmers. Due to the lack of rainwater harvesting and changing weather patterns, many crop failure cases have been registered in the last few years. To prevent loss of annual crop production, many researchers propose the technology-driven smart farming method. Smart agriculture involves utilizing technology to create a controlled environment for the management of the crops. Smart farming increases crop production and provides small farmers with an alternative income source. The government initiated many pilot projects to promote smart agriculture in India. Yet, the absence of technological assistance and skilled procedures poses a challenge for most farmers aiming to thrive in this industry. This paper introduces a smart freshwater recirculating aquaculture system based on IoT technology. The proposed system has integrated sensors and actuators.
