Abstract


In this paper, the environmental condition of fishes was monitored through a LabVIEW interface to guarantee safety and survival by providing a natural water environment with adequate favorable conditions. Fishes are cold-blooded animals as such their growth depends closely on the environmental situation which includes water level, water quality, temperature as well as feeding schedules. Monitoring the situation of the pond is challenging to fish farmers. In this work, LabVIEW interfaced PC-Based fishpond monitoring system have been designed using Arduino Uno which is capable of monitoring and controlling the activity of fishpond in terms of water level, temperature and feeding time. The Arduino board was interfaced to the LabVIEW LINX with all sensors (LM35 and Potentiometer), valve switch’s (pumping and discharge) of the water in the fishpond and the motor (solenoid shooter) which serves as the central lock attached to the feed storage. The environmental conditions of the pond system were monitored between 24oC to 34oC temperature, 0.7m to 2.5m depth and high/low button condition for feeding.
