Smart Aquaculture – Monitoring Prediction System (i-AMPs)

Aquaculture is the production under regulated or semi-controlled conditions of aquatic plants
and animals. Aquaculture is underwater agriculture in its simplest terms. Aquaculture is the
fastest growing food industry in the world. Aquaculture has inherent characteristics that make
it one of the most effective and low-impact methods of producing high-quality protein for
humans. These include much higher efficiencies in food production than other forms of animal
farming. Aquaculture is extremely diverse, both with regard to the types of aquatic organisms
being grown, but also with regard to the types of stems used in development. All system,
however, must provide the same ecosystem services that include proper temperature, pH and
oxygen content. To monitor all those conditions above, a system needs to have sensors that are
able to monitor the temperature, pH and oxygen content efficiently. With those sensors in place,
the reading of each condition may not be fully accurate due to various factors. On rainy days,
a change of temperature may occur or perhaps a slight change of pH level due to the open water
environment that surrounds the farm. Therefore, all of these factors are taken into consideration
in aquaculture farming to be able to get the best most reading of the water condition.
