This paper aims at detecting the problems in aquaculture so that farmers can take preventive measures before things get out of control. It is designed to operate in ponds where aquatic animals are made to develop in their natural habitat. The device is provided with sensors namely Dissolved Oxygen sensor, PH sensor, Ultra Sonic Sensor, etc. which are connected to a base device called Arduino Board. The device uses the internet connectivity to regulate the works without manpower. In manmade ponds the Dissolved content of the oxygen, the PH level and the Water level varies with the density of the aquatic animals, so if the Dissolved oxygen content in the water decreases it will make the aquatic animals unable to survive in less oxygen atmosphere. The Dissolved oxygen sensor detects this and automatically switches on the aerators which then increase the content of oxygen. Similarly if the PH level of the water is below or above seven (7) the water becomes acidic or basic in nature which is not a good sign of natural habitat for animals. The PH level sensor detects this and we can take counter measures to make the PH again to 7. We can also regulate the temperature of the water using temperature sensor.
