Towards Smart Mariculture Application: Providing Smart Monitoring System Mobile Apps to Supports Groupers Cultivator in Kepulauan Seribu, Indonesia

Fish farmers in The Thousand Islands, Indonesia, especially in the Sea Farming Community, are currently focused on groupers (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus-lanceolatus) cultivation. Grouper's cultivation is affected by various factors, e.g., disease and water condition, which will affect the cultivation activity and treatment. Timely monitoring is essential to ensure a high yield of the cultivation. However, the current practice is to monitor the cultivation condition in-person using paper-based records, resulting in inadequate data and a significant burden on the cultivators. This research develops a Smart Mariculture K1000 Application: a mobile-based smart monitoring system that supports groupers cultivators. The application served as a front-end to our previously developed internet-of-things and sensor network to monitor water and environment condition. Moreover, the cultivators can also record their production activity to the system, allowing automatic analysis and monitoring. We develop the application using vue.js to ensure the portability of the application. The application connected to the back-end server and sensor networks using REST.api. We tested the application to the Sea Farming community member using usability testing. The task success measured is 96.8%, and the usability problem found already fixed in the implementation. We hope this application can be our first step to create smart maritime-culture (mariculture) in Indonesia to achieve sustainable marine cultivation.
