Abstract: India boasts a vast coastline and a thriving fishing industry, making it the world's third-largest fish producer, with an average production of 11 million tons of aquatic products annually. The states of Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal are the top producers of marine food in the country. Aquaponics, which is the integration of aquaculture and hydroponics, is playing a vital role in India's development and contributing significantly to the country's rising GDP growth. In fact, aquaponics alone produces over 41 million tons of production, making a substantial contribution to the economy. As the demand for aquatic products continues to grow, it is essential to monitor aquaponics production closely. This is where the proposed IoT-based aquaculture system comes in. Implemented using a microcontroller, this system offers a comprehensive solution for monitoring the aquaponics production process, enabling farmers to monitor critical parameters such as water temperature, gases present in the atmosphere, turbidity, water level, and pH level inside the pond. These parameters are crucial for optimal fish growth and health, and by continuously monitoring them, farmers can detect any variations or abnormalities that may impact the fish's health or growth. One of the key features of this system is its ability to send alert notifications to individuals via LORA Tx and Rx modules. These notifications allow farmers to take immediate action if needed, ensuring that the aquaponics production process is not affected by any anomalies that may occur. Additionally, the system monitors all sensor and actuator status and transmits data to the IoT cloud for further analysis. The proposed IoT-based aquaculture system offers an efficient way to monitor and maintain optimal fish growth and health, contributing to the continued success of India's thriving fishing industry.
