Automation of Aerators Based System on Water Quality Parameters in Aquaculture

The aquaculture in India is another important sector of the economy, in particular, job creation in the rural area. The aquaculture sector is currently facing many challenges. Fish density in farms varies, but the farmer is interested in high-density packaging to increase profits, this could raise the problems of pollution, diseases and causes stress in fish, which leads to inferior product quality. The primary objective is to monitor the aquaculture system using various sensors to reduce risks. Controlling water quality parameters (dissolved oxygen, pH, and temperature) in aquaculture to improve quality, productivity which in turn reduce costs and increase profits. Water quality is monitored continuously with the help of sensors placed in the pond and aerators are automatically turn ON and OFF based on sensed values. The sensed data and status of the Aerators will transmit to the aqua farmer mobile via GSM.
