Experimental IoT System to Maintain Water Quality in Catfish Pond

This study investigates the challenges in catfish aquaculture, mainly focusing on water quality, which is crucial for successful fish farming. This research aims to implement Internet of Things (IoT) technology with sensors connected to a microcontroller to monitor and control critical parameters such as temperature, pH, and oxygen levels in catfish ponds. Utilizing NodeMCU and specific sensors, the system provides real-time monitoring, enabling early detection of environmental changes that could impact fish health. The research findings indicate IoT technology in catfish aquaculture can enhance fish health and growth. Real-time monitoring reduces the risk of diseases by providing an optimal environment for the fish. Additionally, automatic control using fuzzy logic, which can adjust email notifications automatically, and actuators such as water pumps and pH regulators that work automatically based on conditions help maintain the stability of water quality. A comparison between conventional and IoT-based farming reveals that the IoT system can reduce catfish mortality by optimizing feed distribution and regulating pH levels. Thus, this study positively contributes to developing more efficient, sustainable and healthy catfish aquaculture methods through implementing IoT technology.
