FishFlow: IoT solution for aquaculture
In Algeria, aquaculture is starting to experience significant growth.
But unfortunately this growth is currently blocked by the lack of technological solutions accessible to farmers' budgets.
In order to improve productivity, limit fish losses and be able to use water in an ecological way (irrigation of water used in nearby agricultural fields), the farmer must know in real time:
PH Level: The pH value expresses the intensity of the acidic or basic characteristic of water. Very high (greater than 9.5) or very low (less than 4.5) pH values are unsuitable for most aquatic organisms. Young fish and immature stages of aquatic insects are extremely sensitive to pH levels below 5 and may die at these low pH values.
Ammonia: Fish excrete ammonia and lesser amounts of urea into the water as wastes. Two forms of ammonia occur in aquaculture systems, ionized and un-ionized. The un- ionized form of ammonia (NH3) is extremely toxic while the ionized form (NH4+) is not.
Disolved Oxygen: Dissolved oxygen content of the water of fish ponds is one of the most important parameters of water quality, as the oxygen is a vital condition for all the organisms living in the water and having an aerobic type of respiration.
The solubility of oxygen is influenced by several factors (e.g. air pressure, hydrostatical pressure, salt content).
Temperature: Water temperature is a key water quality variable because it influences all other water quality variables and aquatic organisms, as well.
Fishflow is a solution designed to optimize the management of water quality parameters and the
aquaponic environment. Equipped with sensors for measuring pH, water temperature, dissolved
oxygen, conductivity, humidity, and ambient temperature, it assists aquaculturists in better
controlling their activities, minimizing intervention time, and predicting potential anomalies. The
integration of artificial intelligence enables it to forecast dissolved oxygen levels. Built using
Blues technology, specifically the Notecard LoRa modules, this device provides
enhanced communication and optimized coverage of the aquaponic space.
FishFlow: US technlogy with local sowtware skills
FishFlow Control solution we bring is based on hardware of the well know US IoT communication manufacturer Blues.io
We have to install wireless sensor that are communicate to our web server throught "Blue.Io" gateway by using LoRa Technolgy.
