Abstract

Indonesia is a producer in the fisheries sector, with production reaching 14.8 million tons in 2022. The production potential of the fisheries sector can be optimally optimized through aquaculture management. One of the most important issues in aquaculture management is how to efficiently control the fish pond water conditions. IoT technology can be applied to support a fish pond aquaculture monitoring system, especially for catfish species (Siluriformes), in real-time and remotely. One of the technologies that can provide this convenience is the IoT. The problem of this study is how to integrate IoT devices with Firebase’s cloud data system to provide reliable and precise data, which makes it easy for fish cultivators to monitor fishpond conditions in real time and remotely. The IoT aquaculture fishpond monitoring use 3 parameters: (1) water temperature; (2) pH water level; and (3) turbidity level of pond water. IoT devices use temperature sensors, pH sensors, and turbidity sensors, which are integrated with a microcontroller and Wi-Fi module. Data from sensor readings are sent to the Firebase cloud via the Wi-Fi module so that it can be accessed in real time by end users with an Android-based mobile app. The findings are (1) the IoT-based aquaculture monitoring system device has a low error rate in measuring temprature, pH, and turbidity with a percentage of 1.75%, 1.94% and 9.78%, respectively. Overall, the total average error of the three components is 4.49%; (2) in cost analysis, IoT-based has a cost-effectiveness of 94.21% compared to labor costs. An IoT-based aquaculture monitoring system using Firebase can be effectively used as a technology for monitoring fish pond conditions in real-time and remotely for fish cultivators that contribute to providing an IoT-based aquaculture monitoring system that produces valid data, is precise, is easy to implement, and is a low-cost system.
