Fishing network predicts storms

American experts are thinking of making use of satellite card networks that are attached to many large fish species in the Gulf of Mexico to measure ocean temperatures and thereby predict the weak strength of a storm.

Scientists are confident they can predict the force of a storm based on the support of 750 sharks, tuna, porridge and swordfish along the Gulf of Mexico.

According to The Houston Chronicle, the Miami University team (USA) has attached tracking devices to marine animals over the past decade, to record seawater temperature and salinity levels in other depths. together.

Recently, they found that these temperature parameters could in fact serve as an important warning signal for people living in storm-stricken areas.

The strong or weak hurricane season depends largely on the amount of warm water formed in the area, and the fish community will act as biological sensors, providing accurate changes in the temperature of the seawater.

When the fish is near the water surface or above, the tracking device will be activated, transmitting data to the satellite and from there to the relevant parts.
