Enhancing Tilapia Growth in Modern Aquaponics Through IoT Integration

Abstract

Aquaponics is a system recognized as an innovative method of sustainable food production that combines fish cultivation with agriculture simultaneously. Aquaponics is able to overcome problems in urban areas which require land for farming and fish cultivation. The aim of this research is to implement an IoT system in aquaponics that is connected to various sensors, such as Ph sensors, TDS sensors, temperature sensors and turbidity sensors to monitor water quality conditions in tilapia habitats. The results of this research show that implementing an IoT system in aquaponics can overcome environmental monitoring and control problems effectively. By using methods in the aquaponics system and using the IoT system in collecting data so that it can respond to environmental changes quickly and precisely. This system helps increase tilapia fish growth and plant productivity in a modern aquaponics system. This research demonstrates the great potential of IoT technology in increasing efficiency and productivity in aquaponic cultivation, so it can push the fisheries sector in a more advanced and competitive direction. So that we can face the challenges of food security and move towards more environmentally friendly, efficient solutions for future sustainability.
