Prototype of water vehicle to catch lionfish!

The non-profit organization Robots in Service of the Environment has announced the start of a prototype unmanned underwater craft designed to catch the dragon fish - the Lionfish. This vehicle is designed to control this fish when it reaches deep levels, particularly those areas where divers and swimmers are present. Researchers have discovered that a single lion fish that lives around coral reefs can reduce the presence of native coral fish by 79%. Researchers have documented in this case that lion fish have severe impacts on the ecosystem in destroying coral life because of their predation to those fish that live inside. .

This water craft was created to reduce the harmful effect of destroyed lion fish, so the water craft process attracts this fish to a plastic tube that takes the cylindrical shape, then it is reserved inside so that the water craft can dive to its original habitat, which may reach depths up to - 200 m - Then the fish is released there, and the vehicle can reach a depth of 400 m + Operating time of the battery, which may reach 60 minutes continuous work, and has been designed in a way that isolates the system operating units on the side ends so that the developments and improvements can be made independently of the basic structure And systems, This reduces construction time and speeds up the development process. The capture process with this vehicle is safer than taking it by hand, due to the presence of thorns in the fish's body that contains toxic substance.
