Aquaculture in Indonesia has begun to improve rapidly from time to time. However, most of aquaculture practitioners still use conventional method on monitoring the water most important aspect of the aquaculture which is the water quality. This thesis work focuses on the development of a prototype of an aquaculture water quality monitoring system which can monitor temperature and pH. The data then can be accessed by the practitioners to improve the quality of aquaculture product in Indonesia. The monitoring system covered the communication protocol that is based on MQTT communication protocol which is lightweight that is suitable with the remote area of aquaculture pond.
Keywords: Internet of Things, Python, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Aquaculture.
