Abstract

This paper presents the development of iPooL, a portable Internet of Things (IoT)-based fish pond system designed to optimize freshwater fish farming, particularly in resource-constrained and urban environments. By integrating real-time monitoring of essential water parameters—such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and ammonia levels—iPooL ensures that optimal environmental conditions are maintained for fish health and growth. The system employs IoT sensors connected to an ESP32 microcontroller, which processes and transmits data to a cloud platform, enabling farmers to receive real-time alerts and manage their ponds via a mobile app. Field trials demonstrated that the iPooL system reduces fish mortality by 20% and improves fish growth rates by maintaining stable water conditions. Additionally, the automation of feeding schedules and water management reduces operational costs, particularly in labor and feed, resulting in a 30% increase in profitability. With an estimated return on investment (ROI) within one year, iPooL offers a cost-effective solution for both small- and medium-scale fish farmers. The system also promotes environmental sustainability by optimizing water usage and reducing the need for chemical additives. Its portability allows fish farming in non-traditional environments, such as urban rooftops, contributing to decentralized food production and reducing the environmental impact of transporting fish to urban markets. iPooL’s scalability, combined with future integration of artificial intelligence and renewable energy sources, positions it as a transformative tool for the aquaculture industry, supporting both economic development and sustainable farming practices.
