LIVE participates in a groundbreaking mechanical removal trial using suction to control an invasive species in Lake Geneva!
Jean-Nicolas Beisel, a hydroecologist specializing in benthic fauna at LIVE–ENGEES, participated in trials conducted this summer at a depth of 20 metres. The robot is expected to be capable of suctioning out ‘up to 90% of the mussels present in this environment.’ A first-of-its-kind experiment!
