Abstract
We present a general framework for measurements and optimization of differential-algebraic models. Moreover, we propose an application of the considered methodology in ecotoxicology. The differential-algebraic models can be used to describe different ecotoxicological relations. One of them is the influence of the environmental pollution on the Daphnia's movement characteristics. Changes in these characteristics can be used as a tool for assessment of neurotoxicity. The camera-based measurement and optimization system enable us to obtain the differential-algebraic ecotoxicological relations in a fully automated way.

The aim of this study is to present and discuss a new method for measurement, which uses a camerabased observation system
The general difficulty in the presented methodology is connected with an appropriate interpretation of the obtained measured values and an optimization of parameters of a model
The general system consists of the measurement, as well as the algorithm for model parameters estimation
Summary
The aim of this study is to present and discuss a new method for measurement, which uses a camerabased observation system. The general difficulty in the presented methodology is connected with an appropriate interpretation of the obtained measured values and an optimization of parameters of a model. The considered task has an important practical application in the modeling of ecotoxicological phenomena. The presented approach summarizes and extends the recently obtained results. A fast development of new industrial technologies can generate a significant amount of pollution. Xenobiotic substances from technological processes, which can be introduced into the environment, can be dangerous for living organisms. The toxicity of these substances has to be assessed to predict the possible impact on ecosystems
