An automated biomonitoring system for monitoring water quality includes an exposure chamber for housing an aquatic organism having ventilatory behavior and body movement sensitive to water quality. Electrodes sense electrical signals produced by the organism during its ventilatory behavior and body movement, and a controller responsive to signals from the electrodes determines a plurality of ventilatory parameters based on the signals. The ventilatory parameters are compared with corresponding thresholds to determine when the water to which the organism is exposed has caused physiological stress to the organism.

Cette invention se rapporte à un système de surveillance biologique automatisée de la qualité de l'eau, qui incorpore une enceinte d'exposition conçue pour abriter un organisme aquatique possédant une activité ventilatoire et un mouvement corporel sensible à la qualité de l'eau. Des électrodes détectent des signaux électriques produits par l'organisme au cours de son activité ventilatoire et de son mouvement corporel, et un organe de commande sensible aux signaux en provenance des électrodes détermine une pluralité de paramètres ventilatoires sur la base de ces signaux. On compare ces paramètres ventilatoires à des seuils correspondants de manière à déterminer le moment où l'eau à laquelle l'organisme est exposé a provoqué une agression physiologique sur ledit organisme.
