A new, low-cost Internet of Things (IoT) sensor system could help the aquaculture sector fight against the effects of climate change by enabling fish farmers to detect, monitor, and manage water quality in real time.

Tilapia cages on Lake Victoria Aquasen aims to make sensors that are affordable to aquaculture operators in developing countries
It can be adapted to test for a range of variables in water, such as temperature, oxygenation, salinity, and the presence of chemicals such as chlorine.
By monitoring water quality in real-time, the IoT sensors generate data that can be monitored remotely via a mobile device and inform decision-making. It is particularly aimed at areas which rely on climate-sensitive sectors such as aquaculture, as well as areas prone to flooding.
Water quality parameters
Fish farmers could benefit from the technology by tracking the temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, and the pH level of water, allowing them to identify the optimal time for feeding and checking fish health.
It is about making technology that can make a real difference more affordable and accessible to those who need it most. The impact this could have in developing nations is huge, and it was brilliant to hear the initial feedback from fish farmers on the difference this could make to their livelihoods. A wide range of applications
