SMART MONITORING OF BRACKISH WATER: DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLIGENT TANK FOR BRACKISH WATER PRAWN (MACROBRACHIUM ROSENBERGII) IN BACKYARD FARMING

Abstract
This study aimed to develop an intelligent tank for brackish water monitoring to address the challenges faced by prawn farming, focusing on small-scale backyard setups. It introduced a smart tank designed specifically for cultivating brackish water prawns, aiming to enhance productivity and decision-making. By integrating technologies like Dissolved Oxygen Probe, Temperature Sensor, pH Sensor, TDS Meter Probe, and Ammonia Gas Sensor, the innovation aims to optimize water quality management. Furthermore, the study found that the Random Forest model, with conditional deseasonalization and detrending, outperformed other models in predicting brackish water parameters accurately. It achieves the lowest errors across all metrics, including MASE (0.6884), RMSSE (0.6259), MAE (0.2025), RMSE (0.2277), and MAPE (0.0073). Additionally, it shows a positive R2 value (0.0378), indicating that the model explains a portion of the variance in the data.
