摘要
A rapid biological automonitoring system, intended to complement physical-chemical monitoring techniques, has been developed which utilizes the increase in fish opercular rhythms under toxic conditions. Any increase which is above the rate to be expected under normal conditions, is monitored electronically. A built-in visual alarm system serves as an advance warning of an impending harmful condition. The system can also be used to control toxic industrial discharges, thus aiding the preservation of the quality of receiving waters.
