Robo shellfish check water pollution

A company has turned shellfish into robo-ocean dwellers — to keep track of water pollution.
Scientists have created a commercial water-quality-monitoring system that uses electronically augmented live molluscs as its sensors.
There are around 75,000 species of mollusc including oysters, mussels, scallops and clams.
All feed by filtering plankton out of the water by opening their shells.
Water pollutants affect the way they open.
The French-designed molluSCAN-eye is a spin-off from a study by a team from France's science institute, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and the University of Bordeaux.
Each molluSCAN-eye unit incorporates a caged cluster of 16 filter-feeding molluscs native to the region where they are placed.
OPS: Oysters equpped with the MolluSACN-Eye technology attached to a watertight electronics module that sends the information gathered on its way to a cloud-based platform where the information can be accessed.

Will Belgium's national dish finally feature homegrown mussels?
Previous attempts to farm them have foundered - but a bumper harvest this year suggests the 'delicate' Belgian mussel is here to stay.

'Like the flip of a switch, it’s gone': has the ecosystem of the UK's largest lake collapsed?
Lough Neagh's flies were seen as a nuisance. Now their sudden disappearance is a startling omen for a lake that supplies 40% of Northern Ireland's water.
"Lough Neagh fly" can refer to various non-biting midges, but these crucial insects support fish and wildfowl that are endemic to the lough system, as well as frogs and predatory insects. The loss of these keystone species, alongside sharp reductions of others, the spread of invasive species like zebra mussels, and a long-term deterioration in water quality, indicates deep trouble across the lough's entire ecology.
