Abstract
A biosensor device (10) for in situ monitoring of deep-water sea-floor biological patterns (30), which biosensor platform (10) comprises a plurality of cameras (12) and a lightening system (14), wherein a plurality of coral nubbins (16) with a plurality of polyps (18) are prepared and fixed to a platform (11) of the biosensor platform (10) with a distance to each other such that there is no overlap on a picture frame (22) thereof, and wherein the cameras (12) and the lightening system (14) are arranged so as to take coral-silhouette-pictures (CSP:s) of the plurality of nubbins (16) in the picture frame (22). In this way, there is provided a biosensor device based on coral, or other deep-sea species, behavioural for surveillance and monitoring of a deep-water sea-floor.
