Real-Time Aquaculture Monitoring System Using IoT Technology

Algerian aquaculture is currently experiencing a boom in production, especially in the sub-Saharan regions (Ouargla, El Oued, Bechar, etc.). The tax advantages granted to the fishing and aquaculture activity would boost the sector, have a positive impact on prices and motivate project promoters to embark on this activity and develop their projects. however, intensive aquaculture practices have raised concerns about water quality degradation and increased susceptibility to aquatic diseases. Consequently, effective water quality management is crucial for sustainable aquaculture operations. This study introduces an innovative approach: an IoT-enabled system tailored for monitoring water quality in fish farms located in Algeria. The system's design and implementation empower farmers with real-time monitoring capabilities for vital physico-chemical parameters in nursery ponds. These parameters include turbidity, water level, temperature, pH, and more. The simulation results obtained validate the efficacy of the algorithms proposed.
