Prototype of an Aquacultural Information System Based on Internet of Things E-Nose

Abstract Aquaculture is the fastest growing food-producing sector in the World, especially, in P. R. China. In the ongoing process of Internet growth, a new development is on its way, namely the evolution from a network of interconnected computers to a network of interconnected objects that is called the Internet of Things (IoT). Constructing an affordable, easy-to-use, aquaculture information system based on IoT is the future trend for modern aquaculture. The prototype IoT of aquaculture information system is developed with following functions: (1) Sense in real time the water quality in aquaculture ponds and send water quality data in time to remote IoT Platform with wireless sensor network and mobile internet; (2) Forecast the change trend of water quality based real-time data and operating suggestion will be created for special aquaculture application automatically; (3) Real-time and efficient exchange with special users and common users with WEB, WAP and SMS; (4) Some control devices may be operated ...
