A large-scale marine shrimp farming base operating over 500 acres and 20 ponds faced repeated water quality crises under high-density farming conditions. Manual testing once or twice daily using test strips could not capture overnight dissolved oxygen crashes or sudden ammonia spikes from residual feed decomposition. With 6 workers required for shift-based inspections across 20 ponds, labor costs were high and data remained fragmented — feeding and water exchange decisions relied entirely on operator experience, leading to resource waste and extended farming cycles.
