Abstract
The problem of imbalances in inter-regional fish stocks, the monopoly of fish distribution by some collectors, the scarcity of fish stocks in some regions still occurs in Indonesia while the country has established National Fishery Logistics System (NFLS). One of the factors causing the problem is of wild fish data is not inputted directly in the dock where common people usually purchase fishes so national data collection does not include the amount of fish consumption in reality.
This study aims to provide solutions to the problem by utilizing the Internet of Things. We design a system that detects the stock (weight) of wild fish at the docks by utilizing load cell weighing sensor, GPS, and microcontroller. Weight and position data are sent to the database server by SIM900 via gprs or sms. Design of this system is expected to support NFLS in collecting fish data at the docks in order to support the government for planning, arranging, and distributing seafood to each region
