[007] However, the above cited prior art does not provide a real-time sensor data analysis using a suitably trained machine learning algorithm, whose output is actionable signals processable by an actuator on the holding tank to perform a corrective action on the holding tank to maintain the environment at optimal conditions.
Date Recue/Date Received 2021-08-12 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[009] With the aquaculture industrialization and improvement of precision farming, for industrialized farming, keeping track of dynamic changes in the water quality environment in time is an important problem to be solved urgently. Each aquaculture animal or plant needs a water quality environment suitable for its survival. If the water quality environment can meet requirements, aquaculture animals and plants can grow and reproduce. If the water in the water quality environment is contaminated somehow, or some water quality indexes exceed the range of adaptation and tolerance of aquaculture animals or plants, a large number of aquaculture animals and plants may die, resulting in direct economic losses.
[0010] In recent years, a great many scholars have contributed a great deal of research on aquaculture monitoring technologies, and the precision management level of traditional aquaculture has been effectively improved. In the prior art, single sensors are often used for data detection, for example, flow meters are mounted on the water inlet and outlet pipes, and salinity and dissolved oxygen concentration sensors are mounted in the tank.
Moreover, signal transmitters and data display units can only be mounted in the vicinity of the sensors. In some improvements, sensor data may be collected and transmitted to a remote central computer for remote monitoring. However, there is still need for manual periodic inspection of record data, and emergency measures are taken after abnormalities are found.
[0011] Moreover, there is no connection between the sensors and between the sensors and actuators, resulting in a lack of a unified monitoring and control mechanism, so it is impossible to use computer and network technologies for automatic control. In most cases, manual observation or periodic inspection is required to measure and record data, which is laborious, error-prone, and poor real-time performance. To solve these problems associated with the prior art and to improve the overall technology, the current invention discloses a holding tank monitoring system based on a wireless sensor network and a monitoring method provided thereof characterized by an unattended operation and automated execution by obtaining environmental data of a holding tank in real-time, and analyzing the data using a suitably trained machine learning algorithm and causing a control action on the actuator to perform a corrective action on the holding tank for optimal operation of the system.

9 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0038] Hereinafter, the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The terminologies or words used in the description and the claims of the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited .. merely to their common and dictionary meanings. On the contrary, they should be interpreted based on the meanings and concepts of the invention in keeping with the scope of the invention based on the principle that the inventor(s) can appropriately define the terms in order to describe the invention in the best way.
[0039] It is to be understood that the form of the invention shown and described herein is to be taken as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, so it does not expressly limit the technical spirit and scope of this invention. Accordingly, it should be understood that various changes and modifications may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
[0040] In a first embodiment according to Fig. 1 of the diagrams is a schematic architectural view of the system as described according to the current invention.
Illustrated in the figure is a holding tank 1, a micro-controller 2, a sensor or plurality of sensors 3, an actuator or plurality of actuators 4, a remote computer or server 5 with a storage device 6, a monitoring and control device 7, a networks 8, a signal receiver and transmitter module 9, an aquatic life 10 as well as a computer-implemented module 50 configured on the remote computer 5, said module comprising a suitably trained machine learning algorithm to determine the conditions that would be optimal for the aquatic life form in the holding tank and generates a corrective signal e.g. temperature, turbidity, mineral composition etc, and transmits the signal to the communication module, which makes the actuator to take a corrective action.
[0041] The holding tank 1 is any such tank capable of supporting an aquatic life form e.g. fish, plants or any such in an aqueous environment. There are numerous instances where fish is the preferred example of aquatic life in this disclosure, however, other life form are also anticipated.
As an example, water quality is the most important factor affecting fish health and performance in aquaculture production systems, and the same is true to may aquatic life forms. Good water quality refers to what the fish life thrives best. This means that a farmer must understand the Date Recue/Date Received 2021-08-12

10 water quality requirements of the fish under culture very well. Fish live in and are totally dependent on the water they live in for all their needs. Additionally, different fish species have different and specific range of water quality aspects, which may include one or more of the temperature, pH, oxygen concentration, salinity, hardness, etc. within which they can survive, thrive, grow and reproduce.
[0042] Within these tolerance limits, each species has its own optimum range, that is, the range within which it performs best. It is therefore very important for fish producers to ensure that the physical and chemical conditions of the water remain, as much as possible, within the optimum range of the fish under culture all the time. Outside these optimum ranges, fish will exhibit poor growth, erratic behaviour, and disease symptoms or parasite infestations.
Under extreme cases, or where the poor conditions remain for prolonged periods of time, fish mortality may occur.
Holding tank water contains two major groups of substances: (a) suspended particles made of non-living particles and very small plants and animals, the plankton, and (b) dissolved substances made of gases, minerals and organic compounds.
[0043] It should be understood that the composition of holding tank water changes continuously, depending on climatic and seasonal changes, the flow of water, and on how a holding tank is used. It is the aim of good management to control the composition to yield the best conditions for the fish. For producers to be able to maintain ideal holding tank water quality conditions, they must understand the physical and chemical components contributing to good or bad water quality. Sensors can provide a great deal of understanding on these conditions.
[0044] Further, the micro-controller 2 is configured to operate the actuator 4 to make a corrective measure for the at least one or more conditions in the holding tank based on a corrective signal received from the remote computer 5 configured with a suitable machine learning algorithm, where the corrective signal is derived from learning based on a plurality of inputs preferably from a plurality of holding tanks. It should be noted that the corrective mechanism is activated at any such preferred frequency and autonomously without a manual input, but rather based on a signal from the remote computer.

On the other hand, the storage device 6 comprises of a database capable of receiving from above sensors detected condition for at least one or more conditions in the holding tank. For each detected condition, there are inputs from multiple holding tanks, probably at different locations. However, the setup could also work for a single holding tank.
[0048] Furthermore, the productivity of all holding tanks (if more than one are included) is measured and recorded, so as to be able to determine the correlation between detected Date Recue/Date Received 2021-08-12

12 conditions and the productivity. This is preferably performed using the monitoring and control device 7. For purposes of this disclosure, the productivity could be the average fish size, the quantity of produced fish, the rate of reproduction, disease rate, the weight of fish produced or even mortality rate of fish. However, it should be understood that similar metrics for other aquatic life forms could be measured as well, and this only forms a suitable example for a person skilled in the art to perform the invention.

The subsequent step 31 entails determining from the input from one or more sensor at a holding tank, if the condition is optimal, and if not optimal, perform the subsequent step 32 of determining the amount of correction required to bring back the at least one condition at the holding tank to an optimal level. In the subsequent step 33, it is generated a corrective signal identifying the correction to be made at the holding tank. Finally in 34, a corrective signal is transmitted for corrective action by the actuator.
