Equipment and Intelligent Control System in Aquaponics: A Review

Abstract

Traditional planting and aquaculture has the problem of large consumption of water resources and land resources, and the water environmental pollution is also a difficult problem facing human beings. Population growth and food safety issues have promoted the concept of aquaponics-a recycling ecological planting and breeding mode. It combines hydroponics and recirculating aquaculture technology to realize water resources and nutrient recycling, low pollution and high productivity and efficiency. In this paper, hydroponics as the main vegetable cultivation method in aquaponics and the main equipment of water treatment in recirculating aquaculture are introduced, and the traditional equipment and its development prospects are analyzed. The greenhouse environments, water quality and nutrient circulation involved in intelligent monitoring and control of aquaponic systems are systematically analyzed and summarized. This paper summarizes the current development of technology and methods in aquaponics and provides prospects for future development trends. With the development of technology, in the future, the aquaponics system will become more intelligent, intensive, accurate and efficient.

Developing a Modern Greenhouse Scientific Research Facility—A Case Study

“…Wei et al [11] presented a review of the current development of technologies and methods in aquaponics. In the greenhouse environment, water quality, environmental data and nutrient information are involved in intelligent monitoring and control.…”

“…In greenhouses, power supply is used for nutrient delivery to the plants and maintenance of proper level of nutrient solutions in the floating system. Therefore, solution level sensor is used to monitor the level of solution in the floating system [11]. Nutrient solution sensors are used to determine the properties of the nutrient solution.…”

“…Nutrient solution sensors are used to determine the properties of the nutrient solution. The most common properties measured in the nutrient solution are temperature, dissolved oxygen, total dissolved solids (TDS), and hydrogen strength (pH) values [11].…”

Building a Fish–Vegetable Coexistence System Based on a Wireless Sensor Network

“…As early as 1974, someone tried to combine a NFT with vegetable planting, and the results were promising [13]. After that, the technology continued to mature and develop [14] [20]. In addition, Wei Wang et al designed an innovative fish and vegetable symbiosis system and used this system as an educational project [21].…”

Pemantauan dan Pengendalian Parameter Akuaponik Menggunakan Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface

“…Akuaponik sebagai salah satu metode urban farming mampu menjadi solusi akan peningkatan kebutuhan pangan dengan keterbatasan lahan di perkotaan. Akuaponik merupakan penggabungan antara sistem budidaya akuakultur dengan hidroponik [2]. Banyak penelitian yang sudah dikembangkan untuk memudahkan petani hidroponik dalam pemantauan dan pengendalian parameternya [3], [4].…”
