Abstract: In the aquaculture industry, fish, shrimp, and aquatic plants are cultivated in fresh, salt, or brackish waters. The increasing demand for aquatic products has stimulated the increasing growth of aquaculture industries. The physical parameters of water quality concerns that affect aquaculture cultivation are pH, temperature, and turbidity. The formation of ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, algae blooms, and excretion of waste by species have high chances to affect the proportion of physical parameters in water and there is a risk of life threat to the species present there. A surface boat enabled with a wireless sensor network and embedded technology is designed. By navigating the surface boat, regular monitoring of these physical parameters can be displayed and accessed through a mobile application. The proposed system can help aquaculture organizations operate in a real-time environment for optimum monitoring and control of the aquaculture environment.
