A portable automated biomonitoring system (10) for monitoring water quality includes an exposure chamber (62) for housing an aquatic organism (64) and a water inlet (13, 14) for directing water to the exposure chamber (62). The aquatic organism (64) has ventilatory behavior and body movement sensitive to water quality. Electrodes sense electrical signals produced by the organism (64) during its ventilatory behavior and body movement, and a controller (32) responsive to signals from the electrodes determines a plurality of ventilatory parameters based to the signals. The ventilatory parameters are compared with corresponding thresholds to determine when the water to which the organism (64) is exposed has caused physiological stress to the organism (64). The water being evaluated may be recirculated through the system for further analysis.

L'invention concerne un système de surveillance biologique automatique portable permettant de surveiller la qualité de l'eau. Ce système comprend une chambre d'exposition servant à loger une organisme aquatique et une entrée d'eau servant à orienter l'eau vers la chambre d'exposition. Cet organisme aquatique a un comportement ventilatoire et un mouvement de corps sensible à la qualité de l'eau. Des électrodes détectent des signaux électriques produits par l'organisme au cours de son comportement ventilatoire et du mouvement de corps, et un contrôleur sensible aux signaux issus des électrodes détermine une pluralité de paramètres ventilatoires en fonction des signaux. Ces paramètres ventilatoires sont comparés aux seuils correspondants afin de déterminer à quel moment l'eau auquel l'organisme est exposé a provoqué un stress psychologique à l'organisme. L'eau évaluée peut être à nouveau passée à travers le système en vue d'une autre analyse.
