In this study, the fabrication of the nano sensor systems to assess quality of aquaculture water was reported. These sensor systems had some advantages in comparison with the commercial ones. They were the multifunctional system with ability to measure maximum 8 parameters of aquacultural farming water including pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), oxidation/reduction potential (ORP), salinity, NH4+, NO3- and Cl- concentrations. There were two system configurations for the users’ choice: a full option with a turtle-shaped sensor version with independent operation and remote control. It could measure 8 parameters of water and long-time working thanks to the high capacity battery. Another version of the sensor system was a compact portable version. It could measure 5 parameters of water including DO, pH, temperature, NH4+ and NO3- concentrations and had visual display of LCD. Both two systems could transmit and store data to the web server and send a warning message if the measurement parameters exceed the threshold which could be set by the users. These products are specially designed to meet demands of monitoring continuously and online the aquacultural farming water. They are expected to monitor the aquaculture water quality with a high accuracy, help the farmers to control the aquacultural farming water and contribute to the development of agriculture in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam.
