Development of Internet of Things System for Smart Fishery in Ornamental Fish Farming

Based on data owned by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia, the freshwater ornamental fish sector is a significant contributor to the Indonesian economy. In 2020, the export value of freshwater ornamental fish will reach USD 111 million. In addition, the ornamental fish farming sector can also be said to be one of the sectors that has low maintenance and operational costs. This is inversely proportional to the conditions in the market which make the freshwater ornamental fish sector has high demand. However, some of the obstacles that are still being experienced by cultivators include the difficulty of conducting regular coaching and the difficulty of supervising all monastic places, which are not small in number. This research is expected to be able to solve the problems of freshwater ornamental fish cultivators by producing a solution in the form of an IoT tool that can monitor, and control freshwater ornamental fish cultivation sites connected to mobile applications. With this research, cultivators can carry out all operational activities that are usually done manually one by one, now they can be done using a mobile application on their respective smartphones. What cultivators can do is monitor the potential for Hydrogen contained in the culture water media, monitor the temperature of the water media, so that they can control the feeding of the freshwater ornamental fish and control the lighting in each aquarium media for freshwater ornamental fish cultivation. In addition, it can later be developed based on this research which can produce monitoring tools in real time visual images using a camera.
