Low-Cost IoT Solution for Real-Time Monitoring of Aquaculture Water Parameters

Abstract

This study presents an IoT-based aquaculture monitoring system designed to evaluate key water parameters like pH, temperature, and turbidity, which are crucial for fish health. Using an Arduino Uno microcontroller and ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, sensor data is transmitted to the ThingSpeak cloud platform for real-time monitoring. Field tests were conducted at two aquaculture sites, a pond and an industrial lake, to validate system performance. The system demonstrated reliable data collection and analysis, indicating potential to enhance aquaculture sustainability through low-cost, continuous monitoring.
