Sino-German Jointly Developed Water Quality Online Monitor Settled in Hubei Lake Ezhou Security Lake

On the 29th of July, Daph Tox, a water quality on-line monitor jointly developed by the Institute of Hydrobiology and the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, settled on the Security Lake in Ezhou, Hubei Province, and began trial operation on the same day.

It is understood that Daph Tox, a new online water quality monitor developed by German company BBE, can continuously monitor water bodies online.

The instrument is a large species of zooplankton as an indicator organism. The body of water to be measured will continue to flow through the large culture vessel and then flow out. If the behavior of the large scale changes significantly during the passage of water, such as swimming faster or slower. A higher jump, continued rotation, or death indicates that there may be toxic substances in the water or excessive levels of certain components (such as high ammonia levels).

At present, the equipment is only commissioned at the Baotantang Scientific Research Base at Bao'an Lake, and the next step will be to use it as the main lake in Bao'an Lake. During the operation of the instrument, the measured data is transmitted by the network to the BBE company's technical personnel in real time. They analyze and summarize the data and provide scientific basis for the protection and improvement of the water quality of the Lake.
