This is an award to support Phase II of a research project, Phase I of which was conducted under NSF Grant No. 91-61351. The research is on determining the feasibility of using fish ventilatory response profiles in an automated monitoring system that can continuously detect toxicity of effluents from wastewater collection and treatment systems. This concept involves a process by which ventilatory and locomotive behavior responses of fish are analyzed to determine the presence of toxic substances in the wastewater to which the fish are exposed and to aid in identification of the responsible substances. The proposal leading to this award was submitted in accord with criteria in NSF 91- 20, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR). Results of Phase I supported the technical feasibility of using fish response as the basis for an automated, real-time water quality monitoring system to detect the presence of toxics in water. The objective of Phase II is to determine the commercial feasibility of this concept which could be used to continuously monitor wastewater for toxics, to screen water for presence of toxics and to locate their sources. A system based on this concept could be used to manage operation of biological processes used in treatment of wastewater.

这是支持研究项目的第二阶段的奖励，该项目的第一阶段是根据NSF赠款编号91-61351进行的。 该研究是在自动监测系统中确定使用鱼类通气响应概况的可行性，该系统可以连续检测从废水收集和处理系统中的废水毒性。 这个概念涉及一个过程，通过该过程分析了鱼类的通气和机车行为反应，以确定在暴露于鱼类的废水中存在有毒物质并有助于识别负责物质。 导致该奖项的提案是根据NSF 91-20的标准提交的小型企业创新研究（SBIR）。 第一阶段的结果支持使用鱼类响应作为自动化的实时水质监测系统的基础的技术可行性，以检测水中的毒物。 第二阶段的目的是确定该概念的商业可行性，该概念可用于连续监测有毒物质的废水，筛选水以存在毒物并定位其来源。 基于此概念的系统可用于管理用于处理废水的生物过程的操作。
