Abstract
The city of Agadir is one of the best tourist destinations in Morocco, considered as one of the most beautiful bay in the world, which has a port infrastructure and strong industry based on the processing of seafood which often implicated as the source of odors. In order to identify in real time the sources responsible for the odors experienced in the city center and to act quickly in conjunction with industry, the Wilaya of Souss Massa Draa Region has implemented a continuous odor monitoring and tracking system using electronic noses. The treatment of meteorological data and data sent by electronic nose enables atmospheric dispersion modeling, which allows to follow instantly the odor level in the study area and to identify the sources responsible for odors with receiving warning of incidents odors, data analysis system generated every four minutes allowed to have results confirmed by companions of questionnaires to nearby residents. To reduce odors, recommendations have been suggested, which is to set up affordable and efficient practices.

Summary
In the production process of seafood (fish meal production, canning, etc.), management of odors is a major concern for both the industry required to control the nuisance and for residents expecting respect and enjoyment of. The ranking enabled an evaluation of each source and site to identify scenarios and their specific parameters (type of production, weather conditions, etc.) generating odors and resulted in data parameters of generating odor nuisances within short and long distances from the sites, as well as identifying solutions (operational and technical) that are optimal in the minimization of odors [3] This odor audit has provided the industrial operational guidelines to reduce odors [4]. These approaches have allowed identifying suitable sites for the installation of the continuous odor tracking and monitoring system using six electronic noses and meteorological stations at six different sites. This system can check in real time the level of air quality in terms of odor and analyse the relationship between perceived odors and emissions from industrial sites
