<br/><br/> Aquaculture farming demand was increasing due to the decreasing supply of aquatic animals in<br/>the market. The black tiger shrimp industry faces challenges in optimizing shrimp growth resulting<br/>to increasing mortality rate. To address this, the study presents an automatic monitoring system<br/>for Penaeus monodon that tracks key parameters: temperature, pH level, ammonia, salinity, and<br/>dissolved oxygen—vital for shrimp development. The system uses Arduino and a Hostinger-based<br/>website to collect real-time data. Features include sensors for water level, an aerator pump,<br/>submersible pump, water heaters, and feeder to maintain optimal conditions. The system was<br/>assess through multiple testing to verify the functionality and overall performance of the system,<br/>including sensors and actuators. All sensors operated within acceptable percent error of 5% for<br/>temperature, pH, electrical conductivity/EC sensor, and 20% for ammonia/gas sensor, showing<br/>stable and reliable consistent readings. Actuators, including the automated feeder, water heater,<br/>aerator, and submersible pumps met operational and intended timing requirements. Real-time<br/>monitoring and control were achieved through smooth integration with the Hostinger web<br/>interface, with no data loss observed. Stress testing over 6 – 24 hours also confirmed overall system<br/>stability, with minimal sensor drift of less than 7%. The prototype was evaluated using five criteria:<br/>functionality, durability, safety, aesthetics, and economy. It received an overall mean score of 4.43,<br/>rated “Very Acceptable.” In conclusion, the study recommends using this water, air, and feeding<br/>monitoring system to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of shrimp farming in artificial<br/>aquaculture ponds.
