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.

这是一个支持第二阶段的奖项， 研究项目，其中第一阶段是 根据NSF批准号91-61351进行。 的 研究的目的是确定 利用鱼类的净化反应曲线， 自动监控系统， 持续检测废水毒性 从废水收集和处理 系统. 这个概念涉及一个过程， 这种解释性和运动性行为 分析鱼的反应以确定 有毒物质的存在， 鱼所接触的废水， 帮助确定责任人 物质. 导致这一奖项的提案是 提交符合NSF 91标准的雅阁- 20、小企业创新研究 （SBIR）。 第一阶段的结果支持了 使用fish响应的技术可行性 作为自动化、实时 水质监测系统，以检测 水中有毒物质。 客观 第二阶段是确定商业 这一概念的可行性， 用于连续监测废水， 有毒物质，以筛选水的存在， 有毒物质，并确定其来源。 的系统 基于这个概念，可以用来管理 生物过程的操作， 废水处理。
