A water pH control device in catfish cultivation has been successfully made and tested. The working principle of this device has been designed to maintain the pH of catfish pond water in the range of 6,5-8,5. It was found that if the pH value was outside this range, the sensor ordered the water pump to automatically and in the realtime drain the pond water through a filter to return the pH to the specified value. Thus, the application of this sensor has succeeded in reducing catfish deaths due to stress.
