Remote Supervision System for Aquaculture Platforms

Aquaculture processes usually take place in remote and harsh environments, and are highly dependent on uncontrollable and unpredictable variables, therefore its monitoring and supervision can be a key factor in this activity. Taking that into account, this paper proposes a solution for a Remote Supervision System for Aquaculture Platforms, that contemplates a modular, reconfigurable and expandable sensor network based on the I2C protocol, which is composed by two different types of sensor nodes. The main sensor node, which serves as the sensor network coordinator and as a gateway, and the tiny sensor nodes, that are responsible for simple data collection tasks.
