Abstract

High-Frequency Non-Invasive (HFNI) instruments are currently used in bivalve mollusks in order to use them as bio-indicators of the local conditions of the environment. Under the STRAUSS project an Arduino controlled equipment has been developed to log the valve movements activity of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) using Hall-effect sensors. The equipment is able to record at 10Hz the signals of 27 Hall-sensors, temperature, fluorescence and , to store the records in internal microSD cards and to send the stream of data to in premisses data servers for storing and plotting them.
