Thanks, Millie!

I’ve totally had the “too much time on hand” thought many, many times, and even wrote a post about it:

Science, or too much time on hand?

I kinda came to the same conclusion about oil spills as I thought about this more, and I never even thought about the commercial fishing angle. I fear the applications in that area might be more likely on the bad side than good, unfortunately, greed being what it is.

Yeah, it’s so sci-fi, robot fish!

I read the same article and thought the same thing!

A stand-up comedian once said NASA was just a “smart farm” for “really intelligent people” who have too much time on their hands. That might be what is happening here, with the micromanaging of our natural environments by people with highly leveraged cerebral cortexes.

Then again, if this will help fish in some way, I’m all for it. Great post!

I think the best application would be leading fish through dams. For a scenario like an oil spill, you would need many for a variety of species. I don’t see that logistically working, but it would be great if it did.

I wonder about its use in commercial fishing. Good or bad?

If I’d read a story about this, I’d have thought the premise a bit too out there – and, yet, this is real! And with such cool possibilities too.

It’s not so much what a “ture” is, but what an “overture” is.

I simply never saw “leftover” in the title.
