Unveiling the Internet of Things (IoT) Applications in Aquaculture: A Survey and Prototype Design with ThingSpeak Analytics

Abstract

The study examines the potential impact of IoT in aquaculture, and its role in enhancing water quality monitoring as well as the disease prevention. It highlights the transformative power of IoT technology in providing real-time data on water parameters and enabling proactive measures against diseases. The study emphasizes the significance of adopting IoT solutions to optimize water conditions, mitigate disease risks, and enhance fish health. It also explores recent advancements, key challenges, and future directions in IoT applications for aquaculture, including water quality monitoring, feed automation systems, environmental control systems, fish tracking and monitoring systems, remote monitoring and control systems, smart harvesting systems, and disease detection and prevention systems. Based on a comprehensive literature survey, this paper introduces a research proposal focusing on water quality monitoring and disease prevention in fish. The progress thus far encompasses the selection of hardware components, sensor testing, and ongoing activities in programming and debugging.
