IoT-BASED SMART FISH FARMING AND AUTOMATION USING LoRa

Abstract

This project focuses on the development of the remote monitoring and automation system for fish farming through the utilization of LoRa technology. Also, our primary objective is to create the system capable of monitoring multiple fish farming ponds minimizing the use of the internet. Usually farming places are quite far away from the resident area and where the internet availability is low. Moreover, the people that work in the fish farming ponds have to be engaged in all day activities to maintain the living fish habitat. So, this project focuses in less use of internet, less involvement of the human manpower, increase in the production. In our system, various sensors like temperature, turbidity to sense the data from the pond in the real time. Generally, oxygen is main parameter required for the fish to live and for their growth and morning time is the best time to provide the oxygen in the farming ponds RTC was used for this purpose to automate the air pump for providing oxygen. If the sensor data is above the threshold value, then it triggers the relay and hence the relay turns on aerator and water pump to maintain the specific parameter. And similarly, feeding is also done automated and use of ultrasonic sensor to measure the food available in the food dispenser. The purpose of our project is to increase in producing high quality fish by maintaining water parameters suitable for the fish growth in the fish tank.
