The filtered sea water passes through a sensing module to detect sea water sample containing fish eggs. Finally, the filtered sea water passes through a sample collector to collect fish egg samples for later study. The OPC detects water particulates and measures their size by observing light absorption and scattering caused by particulates in the water.
Images below are sample frames from the video recorder.
