The systems have the capability to continuously monitor and record various physicochemical parameters around the clock. In the event of alarming conditions within the fish tanks, the systems will promptly alert the operators. The recorded data will serve as the basis for a decision support tool for the farmers and their Integrated Aqua-Agriculture farms. These systems, emphasizing efficiency, reliability, and resilience in adverse weather conditions prevalent in East Africa, are affordable and easy to replicate for the sustainability and scalability of the project.

Experience from similar projects in the past in the same area showed that weather conditions, lack of funding for servicing such equipment, not thorough cleaning of the probes and negligence in calibrating the probes or changing membranes in them cause a lot of issues in the monitoring systems and even permanent break-downs. An emergency system was also installed to ensure that monitoring does not stop and data are recorded and stored continuously. The emergency system is a plug-in device that is easy to operate and service and is portable. Any values can be seen on the screen of a mobile phone by using an application, and data can be stored in iCloud. At the same time, the device is relatively cheap and affordable for farmers.

During the installation and training sessions, personnel from the Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (DALF), the National Agricultural Research Organisation (NARO), and Sustainable Agriculture Tanzania (SAT) demonstrated a keen interest in the application of these systems due to their significant role in establishing efficient aquaculture systems.
