Smart IoT-Driven Monitoring and Control System for Enhancing Shrimp Aquaculture Health

In the emerging field of aquaculture, the necessity for precise environmental monitoring is paramount for the sustainability and profitability of shrimp farming. This study explores the deployment of an IoT-based system to rigorously monitor water quality parameters such as temperature, pH, turbidity, and total dissolved solids in shrimp tanks. Employing a suite of sensors integrated with an ESP32 microcontroller and real-time data transmission to the Blynk platform, the methodology allows for continuous monitoring and immediate adjustment of tank conditions to minimize loss and optimize yield. The study highlights significant challenges such as high stocking densities, manual feeding practices that lead to growth irregularities, and the impact of erratic power supply and fixed market prices on operational costs. The results demonstrate that our advanced IoT solution not only enhances operational efficiency and shrimp health but also contributes to reducing resource wastage and increasing shrimp yield, thereby supporting the argument that technology-driven approaches can substantially improve the stability and control of farming conditions, fostering sustainable development in aquaculture.
