Abstract
Arowana fishes demand good water quality for their healthy growth. A reliable water quality
management system is very much required in order to maintain the water quality of the fish
pond at optimum level. Manually checking the water quality of each pond one by one is very
time consuming and inefficient. This project is aimed to develop a wireless monitoring
system for Arowana fish ponds water quality. The water temperature and pH values of each
pond are measured using sensors. Each pond sensor is connected to the Arduino Nano with
RF module acting as base station, while the main monitoring station of the system uses a
BeagleBone Black with Sierra wireless module and RF module. After data encoding, the
sensors data from all base stations are sent to main monitoring system via pre-assigned
frequency channel in each station. The main monitoring station retrieves data from the
frequency channel. After decoding, the data will be sent to the cloud via the LTE network.
Data analysis will be done in cloud to determine how the water quality of each pond affects
the Arowana fish. Result shows that the system functions properly when the distance of data
transmission is shorter than 100m and the maximum percentage error of data from water
parameter sensor is acceptable
