Sistema de monitoreo remoto de acuicultura en estanques para la crianza de camarones

The water quality of a pond in the field of aquaculture has a very important role in the success of growing or raising shrimp. Water parameters are variables that can affect the health of crustaceous or affect late growth and slow reproduction. Water parameters are commonly measured manually with the help of measuring instruments to determine their status. Measurement of data allows to note changes and make decisions in emergencies. A remote monitoring system is developed, with the objective of automating the process of data capture and avoiding accidents with the species under observation, this includes nodes with sensors to measure water parameters, environmental sensors, XBee wireless communication module and Arduino microcontroller. Working together allows the taking of scheduled readings or in real time. The information of each reading taken from the parameters can be consulted from a mobile device or a computer with internet access at any time. Finally, the system is tested to verify its operation in the required environment. Nodes are installed in each pond of the “pilot project of shrimp farms”.
