Using Smart sensors to control water quality in Caspian Sea fish farm
The Iranian Caspian Coast is one of the main pisciculture producing areas of Iran and its territory is full of breeding pools. These ponds are filled on average once a year and then emptied at the end of the breeding season. This makes water quality con-trol extremely important for the productivity and the correct functioning of the fish farms. Water pollution is the first cause of financial loss in the market.
The main objective of this project was to control water quality parameters in order to increase quality and productivity, and to reduce costs and increase profit. In this project, the farm installed four buoy mounted solar powered sensors in the ponds to measure water quality parameters of temperature, dissolved oxygen, ammonium and nitrite.
