Automated Biofloc Technology for Fish Farming with GSM based Monitoring System

Biofloc technology mitigates aquaculture’s environmental impact by using microbial flocs to convert organic waste into nutrient rich feed. To enhance water quality management, our research focuses on a GSM based monitoring system for real time data collection and analysis. The system integrates pH, temperature, and ultrasonic sensors with an Arduino Uno microcontroller, GSM module, servo, and pump motors to monitor and regulate water quality. The system measures timely and crucial data on water quality, including parameters such as temperature, pH levels, and the state of the feeding box. The pH and temperature sensors provide analog readings, while the ultrasonic sensor monitors feeding box levels. Food management is controlled by a servo motor that operates the feeding box, and a pump motor maintains water quality. The system uses temperature and pH sensors for rapid hazard detection, minimizing ammonia and nitrite buildup risks. The GSM module enables real time data connectivity, allowing users to track and control system operations remotely. This study empowers fish farmers and hobbyists with real-time water quality data, promoting informed decision-making to enhance aquatic health and productivity. It offers valuable insights to the broader aquaculture community.
