Description

Fish and vegetable symbiosis system using the Internet of Things

The invention relates to a fish-vegetable symbiosis system; in particular, it refers to an innovative fish-vegetable symbiosis system structure type revealer that integrates the technology of the Internet of Things architecture, microprocessor, and software on demand to achieve automatic monitoring.

Due to the rapid increase in the global population, human demand for food is relatively increasing. However, over-exploitation of land has led to reduction of land resources. Under the situation of soil desertification, the area available for crop cultivation and animal husbandry in the world has continued to decrease. According to a report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations on the State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2012, the annual global fishery production is about 128 million tons, and each person provides about 15% of its animal protein intake, which makes humans' Dependence is getting higher and higher.

Asia is the most prosperous region for global aquaculture development. In 2012, global aquaculture production was about 66.66 million tons. China ranked 41.11 million tons in the world, accounting for about 61.7% of the world ’s production. Other countries with more than one million tons also produced They are all located in Asia with 4.21 million tons in India, 3.09 million tons in Vietnam and 3.08 million tons in Indonesia.
