Water Quality Level for Shrimp Pond at Probolinggo Area Based on Fuzzy Classification System

Since several years ago, vaname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) has been extensively cultivated in Indonesia because it has good business opportunities. In aquaculture activities, water quality is an important factor that dramatically impacts the survival and quality of shrimp in the pond. Therefore, information of water quality must be known by the farmer for obtaining a satisfactory harvest. This study aims to develop a water quality monitoring system based on information of temperature, pH, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. The data from sensors are sent to the cloud utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology and then classified by a fuzzy logic system. In order to help farmers easily know the water quality of their shrimp pond, four sensor data including the result of classification from fuzzy logic are sent to the phone. After a trial of the system, 100% of the data are successfully sent to the cloud (google spreadsheet). The system also successfully classified the level of water quality as the expectation of the farmer. With this system, it is hoped that it can assist farmers in monitoring the water quality of shrimp pond to improve the quality and quantity of shrimp.
