Abstract
Aquaculture is growing industry from the perspective of sustainable food fulfillment and county's economic development. Technology oriented aquafarming is the solution for effective water quality monitoring and high yield production. Internet of Things (IoT) integrated aquaculture can cater to such requirements. This research article introduces a comprehensive method aimed at seamlessly incorporate IoT sensors into aquafarming environments, utilizing Arduino boards and communication modules. The proposed method measures accurate water quality parameters, such as temperature, pH levels, and Dissolved Oxygen (DO), which are essential for maintaining optimal conditions for suitable aquaculture environment. This method enables the real-time collection of critical data points that are essential prevent fish diseases and mortality with low human intervention and maintenance cost. The key contributions of the methodology are mentioned below.•Design and development of a compact and efficient Printed Circuit Board (PCB) to achieve accurate sensor data readings and reliable communication in an aqua environment.•Prevent fish disease and mortality rate through data-driven decision incorporating correlation of DO, pH, and temperature sensor data.•Conducted instrument calibration checks and cross-validated automated system data with manual observations through repeatability tests to ensure precise measurements of sensor parameters.
