Advancing Digital Precision Aquaculture in China (ADPAC)

该项目旨在推动中国的数字化精准水产养殖向“水产养殖4.0”发展，这是一个利用数字技术的高度连接和自动化的网络物理系统。2014年中国水产品产量达到4550万吨，占全球产量的60%以上。然而，我国的钢铁行业生产效率极低，劳动强度大，能源和水资源消耗高，环境污染严重。从传统的小规模水产养殖向数字化工业化水产养殖转型迫切需要创新。该提案是对需求的及时回应;它将应用和整合先进传感器，基于5G的物联网，大数据分析和自动化的最新技术，以在中国试点高度数字化的精密水产养殖。预计该系统将使生产效率提高10倍。该项目将在中国开辟新的商机，开发的解决方案也将适用于全球水产养殖。

This project aims to advance digital precision aquaculture in China towards “Aquaculture 4.0”, which is a highly connected and automated cyber-physical system using digital technologies. Aquaculture production in China reached 45.5m ton in 2014 accounting for more than 60% of the global production. However, this sector in China suffers from the extremely low production efficiency, leading to high labour intensity, high consumpiton of energy and water, and severe enviroment pollution. Innovation is urgently needed for a transformation from traditional small-scale to digital industrialised aquaculture. The proposal is a timely response to the needs; it will apply and integrate the latest technologies of advanced sensors, 5G-based Internet of Things, Big Data analytics and automation to pilot highly digital precision aquaculture in China. The system is expected to deliver 10-fold increase in production efficiency. The project will open new business opportunities in China, and the developed solution will be also applicable to aquaculture worldwide.
