Sweeping the seas

David Jones

Nature, 1999, vol. 398, issue 6724, 201-201

Abstract: With the great whales in decline, the krill on which they feed will be more abundant than ever. To make use of this bounty, Daedalus plans a robot ‘oceanic filter feeder’. The plan is to allow a small proportion of the catch to decompose, which will provide methane to power the craft and (when reacted with carbon dioxide) will generate acetic acid to preserve the rest of the harvest.
