Test of Robotic Fish to Detect Ocean Pollution

"Robot fish developed by British scientists are to be released into the sea off north Spain to detect pollution. ...The carp-shaped robots, costing 20,000 pounds ($29,000) apiece, mimic the movement of real fish and are equipped with chemical sensors to sniff out potentially hazardous pollutants, such as leaks from vessels or underwater pipelines." - excerpt from this Thomson Reuters article.
