Safe monitoring of water quality in fish farming
Netilion Smart System for Aquaculture of the Office for Forests of Basel (Amt für Wald beider Basel)
A continuous monitoring of the water quality in the fish farming tanks enables the Office for Forests of Basel, to make sure that their fish grow in optimal environmental conditions. It also enables the user to react quickly in the event of deviation.

The challenge
The Office for Forests operates a fish farm in Giebenach with the aim to reintroduce or stabilize populations of extinct and endangered fish, as well as crayfish species, in the open waters within Basel and its surroundings. In the past, the water quality of the breeding tanks was only monitored on a selective basis. Therefore, deviations from the target water quality would often be detected late or even never.
Our solution
Netilion Smart System for Aquaculture SSP200 ensures reliable breeding operations:
The digital, optical sensor Oxymax COS61D measures dissolved oxygen quickly and continuously
The digital and compressed air self-cleaning ISEmax CAS40D sensor measures nitrate and ammonium
Multichannel transmitter Liquiline CM444 collects measuring data
Modbus Edge Device transfers this data to the Netilion Cloud
A smartphone App brings the measuring, diagnosis and alarm information directly to the customer
All of this results in continuous water monitoring, even if no employee is on site. Alarms ensure that staff are immediately informed in the event of deviations in water quality to react quickly. The information about instrument status reveals maintenance requirements and underlines the reliability of the displayed measured values. Furthermore, the compressed air cleaning system reduces maintenance efforts.
