IoT Based Monitoring And Smart Feeding System for Biofloc Fish Farming

Abstract

As a resource-efficient aquaculture production method, Bio-floc uses less freshwater and land while yet producing high-quality aquafeeds. The aquaculture sector has come under fire for its alleged role in environmental deterioration. In the near future, bio-floc technology will be an environmentally beneficial system that uses microbes to digest organic waste and create microbial flocs that may be used to feed cultivated organisms. The Bio-Floc system is based on the idea of continuously monitoring and evaluating the water quality. Fleece volume was low at high temperatures (30-35 C) because of the loss of floatability and sinking of flocs to the bottom, leading to the development of more sludge. Poison kills all the fish as water pH rises and becomes more necessary since ammonium ions can chemically combine with the water to produce poisonous ammonia ions. The development of the Internet of Things (IoT) has made it feasible to track the number of hazardous chemicals used in Bio-floc production. It is even capable of controlling the water's quality by keeping tabs on the Bio-floc system. Bio-floc technology's pH level and temperature rise will be sensed by a new system based on the company's existing temperature and pH sensor. It's possible to regulate the water's quality online by setting up a personal server for the purpose. An alarm will go off if the pH or temperature rises above a certain point (Red light). The website shows water quality data. Lowering ammonia and nitrite levels is made possible by careful pH and temperature management and monitoring. It is necessary to do water exchange when the temperature and pH level rises. Our project's goal is to provide low-cost budget systems for real-time monitoring and computing water quality levels. Any general user of Bio-floc technology who can easily get the degree of water quality provided by our project work would benefit from our efforts. As a result, they can keep a close eye on things like water quality
