Abstract

Aquaculture continues to expand as a key contributor to global food security, yet the domestication of biologically sensitive and behaviorally aggressive species remains a major constraint in production systems. The genus Channa (snakehead fish) represents a high-value freshwater taxon whose culture development is limited by physiological sensitivity to environmental fluctuations, pronounced intra-specific aggression, and feeding instability under captive conditions. This overview summarizes the latest literature on the application of Internet of Things (IoT) technology in aquaculture and explores the consistency of this trend in other species, which may be relevant to the challenges of domestication in Channa. Previous studies on IoT use show that IoT-based systems are primarily used for real-time water quality monitoring and precision feeding management. Continuous monitoring of water quality using IoT provides better environmental stability, earlier detection of deviations, and reduced losses from stress compared to conventional manual observation. Simultaneously, automated and sensor-supported feeding strategies demonstrate improved feed conversion efficiency, reduced feed waste, and better regulation of feeding frequency. The literature as a whole shows that aquaculture is evolving towards more modern, controlled, technology- and data-based systems that are more efficient in resource use. Although empirical validation in Channa culture systems remains limited, further controlled experimental studies are required to assess the applicability of IoT-based management strategies in this genus.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the length–weight relationship and condition factor of Anabas testudineus inhabiting the tidal floodplain ecosystem of Mempawah Regency, West Kalimantan, as a basis for assessing its physiological condition and ecological adaptation to environmental variation. Sampling was conducted at three stations representing different salinity gradients along the tidal floodplain system. A total of 300 individual fish (100 per station, consisting of 50 males and 50 females) were analyzed for total length and body weight. The results showed that the growth coefficient (b) varied among stations: Station 1 exhibited a negative allometric growth pattern (b < 3), Station 2 showed a positive allometric pattern (b > 3) in the combined population, and Station 3 displayed a positive allometric growth pattern (b > 3) in all groups. The condition factor (K) also varied among stations, with the highest average value recorded at Station 3 (1.191), indicating better physiological status and growth performance. Variations in growth and condition factor were influenced by differences in water quality, particularly salinity, dissolved oxygen, and natural food availability. Ecologically, these findings demonstrate the high adaptive capacity of A. testudineus to fluctuating tidal floodplain environments and highlight the importance of conserving low-salinity habitats to support sustainable biomass growth and management of freshwater fish populations.
