Robotic Fish Monitors Fish Farm Waters

May-15-17 A robotic fish able to detect aquatic conditions could offer a more effective way to study and improve aquaculture.

The bio-inspired robotic fish, developed by a team from the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, was created to detect fish farm pH levels in real time without stressing the fish. If the fish bot detects highly acidic waters—shown to be detrimental to fish health—it will change its swimming pattern, signaling the location of the acidic area.

The team believes the proof-of-concept could lead to bio-inspired fishbots patrolling farms to ensure healthier fish.
