Abstract :
This paper describes the use of Visual Engineering Environment (VEE) software in the control of a water quality monitoring system. The main purpose of the monitoring project was to assess the effectiveness of a cage culture turbidostat (CCT), relative to other bioassays, as a method for determining marine water quality (Clarkson and Leftley (I)). Bioassaying is a technique whereby living organisms, in this case algae, are used as indicators of toxin concentration
