A SET TO SIMULATE THE INCUBATION CONDITIONS OF NILE TILAPIA AND REPORT RESULTS VIA THE IOT SYSTEM

Abstract

This research focuses on the design and development of a tilapia incubation simulation system with IoT-based monitoring. The system aims to assist in temperature control during tilapia egg incubation and provides real-time temperature monitoring to reduce the egg loss rate during the hatching period.

The IoT-enabled tilapia incubation simulation system ensures precise temperature regulation, which significantly impacts the successful hatching of tilapia eggs. The system notifies the temperature deviations through a mobile application, with a variance of 1–2 degrees Celsius. Temperature data is automatically recorded in a datasheet using computer software, serving as a database for future troubleshooting and analysis.

The performance tests of the system confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the temperature sensors, with no malfunctions detected. Data displayed via Google Sheets presented no issues and could be reviewed retrospectively. The average daily temperature complied with the cooling settings of the Elitech EK-3010 digital temperature controller, with no abnormal readings observed. All recorded temperatures remained within the predetermined normal range.
