System for oxygen measurements in a fish farm

Abstract

The most important variable for intensive fish farming is the ability to monitor the oxygen concentration in the water in an autonomous and continuous fashion. We report on a system capable of remote data collection that was deployed in fish pond. The system is capable of tracking the dynamic changes in oxygen concentration encountered in during facility operation. A user friendly computer interface provides output from the sensor located in the fish pond and enables setting alarm levels, which are communicated to the farmer via a commercial cell phone network.
