Sustainable Aquaculture of Penaeus Monodon: IoT-Enhanced Automated Aeration System with Mobile Monitoring and Solar Panel Integration

Abstract

The demand for Penaeus Monodon shrimp in Indonesia is significantly high. However, this demand is not matched by a high success rate in harvests, primarily due to the low survival rate of Penaeus Monodon shrimp, which directly impacts production quantities. The survival rate of these shrimp is highly dependent on dissolved oxygen levels. The minimum threshold of dissolved oxygen required for Penaeus Monodon to respire is 5 ppm. This level serves as the minimum threshold to prevent respiratory collapse and subsequent mortality. Therefore, we developed an IoT-based automated aeration system that monitors dissolved oxygen levels in real-time to maintain levels above 5 ppm by supplying air bubbles through a venturi pipe. This system operates continuously and autonomously, enhancing sustainability, as it is powered by solar panels. Based on monitoring results, 90% of the trials indicated that the system could automatically activate and supply air bubbles to maintain dissolved oxygen levels within a safe threshold.
