The development and assessment of an automated biological monitoring system using crayfish locomotor activity to detect toxic stress

In-plant biomonitors, controlled by dedicated microcomputers, may ultimately provide detection of developing toxicity and hazardous spills in industrial effluents rapidly enough to prevent serious damage to receiving waters. A computer automated system was developed to continuously monitor spontaneo...
