PICASSO (Plankton Investigatory Collaborating Autonomous Survey System Operon) is a special purpose underwater vehicle for plankton survey in mid-water. According to the conventional plankton research method, planktons are directly hauled with plankton net. Some planktons which have fragile body are broken by the net method and then the planktons caught becomes ineffective as research material. PICASSO provides state-of the-art method for plankton investigation. A high definition television camera and a visual plankton recorder which are equipped with PICASSO take high resolution plankton image. Scientists can make in-situ classification of planktons using the image obtained. We carried out three times sea trials and made 24 deployments. We present some devices developed for PICASSO and these sea trial results.
