Lionfish: development of a destructive robot

0

As you know, the lionfish is an invasive species, which can be found in our waters. "Very voracious and without a local predator, it constitutes a threat to our reefs and our fish", according to the Nature Reserve of Saint-Martin. Controlling their population is a challenge that Colin Angle decided to take up - after a trip to Bermuda - with the company Robots In Service of the Environment (RISE). According to several American media, engineers are developing a lionfish killer robot. This device - still in the test phase - would have the capacity to send an electric shock to the fish, to kill it, in order to consume its flesh. _EH
