Abstract

Water quality (WQ) is the paramount element influencing fish well-being and productivity in aquaculture farming systems. The survival of fish is mostly reliant on the aquatic environment that sustains them. Consequently, it is vital to possess a comprehensive awareness of the WQ prerequisites for the fish. Optimal WQ in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) is essential for cultivating species' effective development and survival. Currently, no laws dictate the parameters to be monitored in RAS, leaving each farmer to choose which parameters to monitor. Historically, WQ measurements have been assessed at certain intervals using portable sensors and laboratory tests, which may be labor-intensive. This study proposes an Effective Surveillance of Water Quality (ESWQ) in RAS using Intelligent Biosensors (IBS). This study examines essential water characteristics (temperature, pH, calcium, magnesium, and Dissolved Oxygen (DO)) for RAS and evaluates the IBS for monitoring these factors. This research provides a potential solution for RAS using IBS, which would enhance ESWQ aspects, facilitate data-driven decision-making, and enable more rapid adaptation to evolving RAS situations.
