Design and implementation of a distributed IoT system for the monitoring of water quality in aquaculture

In this work we present the prototype and proof of concept of a distributed monitoring system of the most important variables in aquaculture water quality. This is of great importance because aquaculture is a lagging area of technology compared to other areas such as agriculture. So it is important to solve the problems that are in this area with the support of technology. Among the problems is the slow response time in the care of water quality, the waste of resources and losses. The system proposed in this work monitors the water quality based on wireless sensor networks and on the Internet of Things (IoT). This information is important for the development of this area, since it allows sharing the different conditions in the breeding of aquatic organisms between different breeders and organizations. This information is useful to know the conditions in which there is a better development of a product, worse development, what conditions can mean a possible disaster in the environment and how to optimize resources for the care of the pond.
