Remote Monitoring of Water Quality for Intensive Fish Culture

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Smart Sensors, Measurement and Instrumentation ((SSMI,volume 4))

Abstract

Water quality monitoring and forecasting plays an important role in modern intensive fish farming management. This paper describes an online water quality monitoring system for intensive fish culture in China, which is combined with web-server-embedded and mobile telecommunication technology. Based on historical data, this system is designed to forecast water quality with artificial neural networks (ANNs) and control the water quality in time to reduce catastrophic losses. The forecasting model for dissolved oxygen half an hour ahead has been validated with experimental data. The results demonstrate that multi-parametric, long-distance and online monitoring for water quality information can be accurately acquired and predicted by using this established monitoring system.
