What is IoT in Aquaculture
IoT in Aquaculture involves the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of animals and plants in both fresh and saltwater environments. IoT technologies have revolutionized fish farming processes using sensor networks to measure values such as pH, temperature and other parameters. Fish farm management can be automated to be easily and remotely monitored from other location saving time and money making aquaculture operations more efficient and even eco-friendly.
Application in Aquaculture
Smart Water Quality Monitoring System
Usage of sensors to monitor in real time the quality of water in the pond based on pre-set parameters to ensure the most suitable environment for breeding fish .
Smart Fish Feeding System
Can be implemented by setting the system to feed the fishes at a certain time and command it to dispatch the food in manual mode.
Smart Recirculatory Aquaculture System (RAS)
Can be implemented by setting the system to feed the fishes at a certain time and command it to dispatch the food in manual mode.
Benefits:
- Low operating cost
- Reduction of fish mortality
- Improvement of fish health
- Reduce manual work
- Faster fish growth
- Maximize the conversion rate of food products
- Save owners’ time
- Avoid overfeeding
- Full disease control
- Low water use
- Efficient energy use
- Controlled discharge of waste
