Smart Aquaculture: Monitor Temperature, pH, and DO
Why is it necessary?
Why does aquaculture need a water quality monitoring system?
Aquaculture is an industry highly dependent on environmental conditions, where water quality fluctuations directly affect the health, growth, and survival rate of farmed organisms. However, traditional aquaculture management primarily relies on manual experience and periodic sampling analysis, making it difficult to grasp environmental changes in real time. This results in low production efficiency and poses the risk of large-scale losses.
Water quality is the lifeline of aquaculture. Even slight changes in parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), ammonia nitrogen concentration, and nitrite levels can significantly impact aquatic life. Disease outbreaks are often closely related to water quality deterioration. For instance, high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen or nitrites in water can promote pathogen proliferation, increasing the risk of infections. Traditional testing methods struggle to predict water quality degradation trends, often detecting problems too late, leading to mass mortality and economic losses.
Additionally, insufficient dissolved oxygen can cause fish to suffocate, while excessive ammonia nitrogen or nitrites may result in toxic reactions. In conventional management, fish farmers often rely on experience to regulate water quality or collect samples manually for laboratory analysis. However, this approach is both time-consuming and labor-intensive, with results typically delayed, making it difficult to respond promptly to water quality changes.
Against this backdrop, the adoption of intelligent monitoring systems has become a key strategy for driving industry upgrades and ensuring sustainable development.
How to Solve
Implementing a Smart Aquaculture Monitoring System
By utilizing the WMS Aquaculture Environment Monitoring IoT, users can analyze long-term trend data and determine external environmental factors affecting their aquaculture operations. This system also helps users understand growth patterns, allowing for timely adjustments to controllable environmental factors.
With real-time monitoring capabilities, users can view the current status via sensors. The standard setup includes pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and temperature sensors. Additional sensors can be installed based on user needs, such as image monitoring, power monitoring, and various other sensors, with all data integrated into a unified system display.
Users can also set threshold values for each sensor and select alert notification methods. When abnormalities occur, the system displays an alert indicator and automatically sends notifications via SMS, LINE messages, or email.
The aquaculture industry faces challenges related to environmental changes, disease risks, and operational efficiency. Traditional management approaches struggle to meet modern aquaculture demands. By introducing a smart monitoring system, businesses can reduce risks and costs while increasing production, revenue, and sustainability.

Designed with a responsive interface, it is compatible with both Android and iOS systems. There is no limit on the number of users, and the intuitive operation ensures ease of use. By integrating with mobile devices, users can monitor environmental conditions in real-time, providing a truly convenient and efficient monitoring solution.
Benefits
Ensuring Water Quality in Aquaculture
By leveraging real-time monitoring and automated control technologies, the system continuously tracks water quality changes 24/7 and issues alerts when abnormal data is detected, allowing aquaculture operators to take immediate action. For example, when dissolved oxygen (DO) levels drop, the monitoring system can automatically activate aeration equipment to maintain stable oxygen supply. This instant response mechanism not only preserves aquatic health but also improves the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), significantly boosting production efficiency and economic benefits.
Long-term data recording and analysis enable trend forecasting of water quality changes, allowing potential issues to be identified in advance. Moreover, these systems typically feature an alert function that immediately notifies managers or triggers automatic responses when monitored values exceed safe limits. For instance, the system can initiate water replacement or activate circulation pumps to dilute pollutant concentrations. This predictive mechanism effectively reduces disease outbreaks and keeps mortality rates to a minimum, ensuring aquaculture profitability.
