Swarm intelligence in animals have been used to design previous optimization methods. One optimization method, Ant Colony Optimization uses computer simulated pheromone trails formed by ants to find the most optimal path. Scholars have not applied underwater swarm intelligence behavior for optimization algorithms. My key research question is how can underwater swarm activity inspire an optimization or consensus algorithm? Since beginning work, the topic has pivoting from food pathfinding to colony intruder response using snapping shrimp. The behavior of the colony is will be used to create and test a biological model and lead to development of an algorithm for individual triggered group response. The work can be applicable to a variety of real-world system with individual systems trigger a group response for help.
