Internet of Things for Marine Aquaculture

Abstract

In order to maintain good environment of marine aquaculture media, water quality monitoring is essential. In this paper, we proposed an IoT system to support marine aquaculture system. The system can remotely monitor the water quality, such as turbidity, pH, temperature as well as environment humidity. The system consists of end-node, cloud server and dashboard system. The end-node is device that directly placed in measured area, while for communication to the gateway, a long range and low power communication system (LoRa) is employed. In addition, cloud server is employed to record the measured data, which further sent to the dashboard, that could provide a meaningful information of the measured data. The system also has energy harvester by utilizing solar cell system. In order to prove system functionality, the system has been tested by performing experimental evaluation of the designed system, such as reading various sensors and remotely displayed using dashboard system.
