| Summary: | Developments in the field of control technology stretched the limits of its application in the field of aquaculture. Hence, this study was carried out to utilize microcontrollers to provide the necessary control of several variables or parameters i.e., pH, temperature and water level in an aquaculture system. The versatility of microcontroller programming allowed the manipulation of the range of parameter values, which could be altered depending on the needs of the system. Likewise, other features of the study included ease of monitoring and data logging. The construction of a simulation tank exhibiting different water quality Conditions was carried out to capture dynamic aquacultural situations. Remote monitoring and data collection were an integral part of this study. However, the researcher welcomes further improvements hi terms of additional parameters - oxygen level, salinity, phosphate level, and the like - necessary for optimum fish growth, and the use of modern advanced control algorithms to improve the system's efficiency and speed.
