# Abstract

# Introduction

A system in Poland to monitor water treatment plants
uses mussels as bioindicators
[@FerreiraRodriguez2023].
The system, SYMBIO,
measures once per second the opening level of 8 freshwater mussels
by way of a magnet glued to each mussel
[@Prote2024].
If either half of the mussels close rapidly
or one of them remains closed for longer time,
an alarm is triggered and further laboratory tests are done
[@Nazaruk2016].

This project will implement mechanisms like the polish system.
