<![CDATA[AKA Farm is an urban agriculture-based silver catfish hatchery enterprise in Bogor Regency. AKA Farm has successfully met local demand for silver catfish fry production by utilizing limited space within vacant houses in Cihideung Ilir village. The comprehensive facilities, including electricity, wells, roads, and drainage channels, support the success of this operation. Challenges in the silver catfish hatchery are associated with low efficiency and responsiveness due to the complexity of the production process, resulting in suboptimal harvest outcomes. The primary contribution of this research lies in developing and implementing an innovative IoT-based monitoring and control system to address water quality conditions, as fluctuÂations in water temperature and pH significantly impact fish metabolism and survival. The main objective of this study is to improve efficiency and responsiveness in the hatchery process, aiming for optimal harvest outÂcomes. The integrated system utilizes the Blynk application for real-time moniÂtoring and control. Another advantage of the system is its automation; when the temperature and pH are not optimal, the actuators automatically optimize the aquarium conditions according to applicable standards. The actuators control heating lamps and release acidic or basic solutions. The system performs real-time and remote monitoring and control, reducing delays in responding to changes in the aquarium environment ultimately subÂstantially improving the survival and growth of silver catfish. ImpliÂcations of this research include assisting farmers in saving time and energy while increasing the productivity of silver catfish hatcheries. The study also reinforces the system's ability to create reliable water quality, supporting the well-being of silver catfish and ultimately enhancing performance in urban farming.]]>
