September 2, 2014 — Smart technology is being brought to the fish farming industry, with Korean company SK Telecom introducing an 'Internet of Things' eel farm management system.
The system, developed together with BD Inc, is being tested at an eel farm in Gochang in South Korea's North Jeolla Province.
Essentially, it is a network of wireless sensors managed using a smart device. These sensors monitor the fish tanks in real time, measuring water temperature, quality and oxygen levels. Eel farming is a delicate business, and even minor environmental changes can be fatal to the animals.
The smart equipment transmits its findings using an open 'Internet of Things' platform called Mobius. Should changes in the fish farm be detected, the system will send alerts to synced smart devices.
