This study applies new wireless sensor network (WSN) techniques to monitor the micro climate and water quality of ocean habitats of Penghu Island and aquaculture pools in Aquatic Germplasm Bank of Fisheries Research Institute. Results of 2010 year are summarized as follows:
1.An underwater and bottom-fix monitoring station near Hichenyu Islet, inside the bay of Penghu, was constructed to monitor 5 parameters of water quality by using solar-energy, GPRS-communication and sensor technology.
2.Designed and explored, for aquaculture particularly, a mobile Zigbee sensor module and a related information system to monitor 3 parameters of micro climate and 3 parameters of water quality.
3.A WSN working network was configured for 10 more preserved aquatic creatures in Aquatic Germplasm Bank by integrating hardware of 30 nodes of Zigbee end-devices/routers, 5 Zigbee coordinators and 6 WLAN APs.
