Innovation of the Underwater Fish Lamp (UFL+) in Oceanographic Monitoring Through Sensor Calibration and Evaluation of Marine Environmental Dynamics

This study evaluated the performance of the UFL+ prototype, designed for underwater data collection and monitoring. The system was tested across multiple parameters, including data connectivity, fish attraction, environmental durability, and data processing efficiency. The results indicated that the UFL+ successfully maintained stable data transmission at depths of up to 50 meters, with a 95% success rate in data transmission, even under strong current conditions. The prototype's LED lighting, utilizing a blue-green wavelength, effectively attracted target fish species, demonstrating its dual role as both an attractant and a monitoring tool. Additionally, the device showed resilience in dynamic environmental conditions, functioning without significant issues during prolonged field tests. The data transmission system exhibited low latency (120ms), minimal data loss (2%), and efficient processing times (0.5 seconds per packet), ensuring reliable real-time oceanographic monitoring. These findings suggest that the UFL+ prototype is a reliable, efficient, and effective tool for continuous underwater environmental monitoring.
