Application of IoT sensor technology in aquaculture

The advantages of IoT sensor technology in aquaculture

In recent years, with the Internet of Things, the promotion and application of cloud computing and sensors in agricultural production and operation have been deepened, and modern agriculture has entered the fast lane of informatization.

In the aquaculture industry, through the depth, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, salinity, ammonia nitrogen and other data collected by sensors, the relationship between the length and weight of aquatic products at various stages of aquaculture can be analyzed. The relationship between nutrient absorptive capacity and food intake, etc., and a detailed analysis of this, and rational breeding;

The development of Internet of Things technology has obvious advantages in aquaculture and planting. According to NiuBoL’s analysis, there are two reasons for the rapid development of IoT aquaculture and planting:

The first is to solve the problem of labor intensity. As far as aquaculture is concerned, taking crab farming as an example, crabs cannot move when they are shelling. If they lack oxygen, they will die. The most hypoxic time in summer is from two to five in the morning. With the Internet of Things, on mobile phones You can know the situation of the pond in real time, and you don't need to get up to scan the pond.

The second is more convenient. When hypoxia is found, the oxygen pump can be turned on by pressing a button on the mobile phone. The Internet of Things technology has transformed the management method that used to rely on experience and now relies on digital.

In addition, the breeding density can be appropriately increased. The previous way of increasing oxygen is to increase oxygen when there is no oxygen, which has actually caused damage to the crab. The oxygenation mode has now been changed, and protective measures have been taken in advance. The solubility of oxygen reaches the highest at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. When the solubility is the best, the dissolved oxygen in the middle and lower reaches of the water is saturated through circulation, which is equivalent to storing a large amount of oxygen during the day. At night, when the solubility of oxygen is the lowest, it will not be too low.

Moreover, the toxic substances in the water will be decomposed after oxygenation, the crab will not get sick, and the appetite will also increase. After using the Internet of Things technology, it is obvious that the amount of feed used by the crab farmers has increased, and the size of the crabs has also increased.

The advancement of IoT technology not only promotes the development of aquaculture, but also extends its advanced management methods to other sub-fields of agriculture. It is believed that this technology will benefit more fishermen and consumers in the near future.
