ABSTRACT A water quality monitoring system for detecting sub- lethal degradations in environmental quality. The system continuously or periodically monitors the movements of a plurality of living organisms which are exposed to water from one or more selected sources. A computer controls and coordinates the tasks performed by the system. A video camera is used to visually monitor the movements of the organisms. Sensors measure other selected characteristics of the organ- isms' environment, including the temperature of the water. The computer includes software, responsive to the measurements by the sensors, for deriving a set of prediction parameters corresponding to the statistical distribution of expected movement patterns of the organisms. Other software is used for analyzing the organisms' movements and for comparing the observed movements with the set of prediction parameters, and for initiating the generation of a warning message when the organisms' observed movements do not correspond to the prediction parameters.
