IOT Based Submersible ROV for Pisciculture

Abstract

Pisciculture refers to the controlled commercial breeding and raising fish in tanks or enclosures such as fish ponds. An automated IOT based system for fish farming has been developed which actually reduces the human effort required and maximize fish production. Our system can be placed in the center of a submersible ROV and explore underwater for real-time monitoring of fishes and water quality parameters. Multiple sensors are integrated into the system to record essential data and the system sends these data to the user through Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. A Single Board Computer is used for processing images which provides fish counting and fish size measurement. The user can also control different aqua tools and calibrate the sensors via IOT. Moreover the system can closely monitor for any changes in the fish environment and notify the user and take necessary actions to reestablish a suitable environment.
