Sensor Networks based Water Quality Monitoring Systems for Intensive Fish Culture -A Review

Abstract

Intensive fish culture involves fostering fish in farms, tanks or some enclosures, usually for food. Water quality monitoring systems play an important role in modern intensive fish culture. Various water quality parameters such as temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, etc need to be measured and controlled from time to time in order to ensure proper growth of fish. Real time monitoring of fish farm allows the farmers to be aware of the various water quality parameters and helps to ensure the health of fishes. This paper presents the review of various sensor networks based real-time water quality monitoring systems with an insight of advanced researches in the field of fish culture.
