Fish Helps Fight Possible Terrorist Toxins
SAN FRANCISCO -- If you've ever gone fishing, chances are you've caught a type of fish that has now become a fighter in the war on terrorism.

Some big cities are using a monitoring system based on bluegills, sometimes known as sunfish or bream, to protect their drinking water supply.

The common fish are very attuned to their environments, and their vital signs change quickly when toxins are around.


The system is based on having a few fish swim in tanks constantly replenished with water from the municipal supply. Computers monitor their behavior and send an e-mail warning when something is wrong.

The fish do have their limits, since they can't reliably detect germs in the water.

San Francisco, New York and Washington, D.C., are among the big cities using the system. The company that makes it said more than a dozen others have orders in.
