Maybe robots can save our fish?

I just read this:

 

Robot fish scare off invasive species in Australian waters, study finds

 

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-17/robot-fish-scare-off-invasive-species-in-australian-waters/100710764

I've never heard of mosquitofish but if they are as bad as cane toads, then I say 'bring on the robot fish'.

My immediate though was, are the mosquitofish doing the job they were recruited for? If so, and if they disappear, will we see more mosquito borne diseases?
