| Summary: | Aquaculture is also known as fish fanning. It involves the growth, development and multiplication of flora and iauna which are found to grow in aquatic environment. It is also involved in the production of seafood. Aquaculture nutrition has a vital contribution in the sustainable development of the ecosystem The main objective of aquaculture nutrition is to certain the balanced food portions which should composed of fishmeal and marine oils at an average rate. In aquaculture pond, quality of water always die main issue for the organism. The increment of fish production, temperature and pH level are the main parameters need to be optimized. By utilizing commercial sensors, parameters can be monitored and water quality is in a good condition for the continuity of the organism The objective of the project is to monitor the parameters such as pH level and temperature in a fish pond in order to increase the fish population The system and circuit design of the project were developed in order to measure the parameters. This project was used Arduino Board to connect with pH and temperature sensor. By using Arduino Board, C programming language was chosen because of it compatible and easier to use. PH and temperature sensors that used in this project have the ability to submerge in water to get an approximate reading from fish pond. Sensors should be able to read the input and send the data to microcontroller for data processing before the output were displayed through laptop as results. The results of this project showed that sensors are able to measure the parameters precisely and with no major noise included. The results were plotted in graphs and the relationship between temperature and pH level were obtained. When the temperature reaches its peak value of 32°C at 2 pm, pH level decreases to its minimum peak of 6.9 pH level The temperature reaches its minimum peak of 24 °C at 4 am while pH level reach its maximum of 7.06 pH value. |
