A fish capable of eating bits of plastic smaller than a grain of rice would clean up the ocean. Up to 1.3 cm long, the depth of the sea surface is the reach of blackfish.
A fish that consumes microplastics was created by Chinese scientists. It can consume plastic fragments that are much tiny than a grain of rice. It is designed for cleaning the sea. This black robotic fish works with the help of light (treated with radioactive rays). She can move her body and flap her wings using this.
A team of Chinese scientists from Sichuan University in southwest China said that these robotic fish will one day clean up microplastic waste from oceans around the world. It is delicate to the touch and is up to 1.3 cm (0.5 in) long. Some such fish are working to remove microplastic present in the depths of the surface of the water. According to the team, robotic fish are still being developed in order for them to one day travel deeper and consume microplastics from the water.
We have created a small robotic fish that weighs less,” said researcher Wang Yuan of the team that created the low-weight, small-sized robot. It could be used for biomedical or hazardous operations. In addition, it is one of a kind The tiny robot, which can also be installed in the body, could also help eliminate the disease. Scientists can use lights to control robots so that they don’t collide with other fish and ships floating in the water.
Big fish still alive after eating
According to Wang, if they are accidentally eaten by other fish in the water, it will not harm the real fish. She will easily digest these robots. This is because the fish is made from polyurethane. which is biocompatible. Robotic fish can absorb pollutants and repair themselves when damaged. It can swim faster than the majority of artificial robots, 2.76 body lengths per second.
The negative impact of microplastics on the environment
We’re working on collecting most of the microplastics, Wang says. It has a negative impact on the environment. It limits growth, reproduction, and normal biological functions in organisms and affects humans as well.
