Nautilus Switzerland
A tool for collecting invasive mussels
Nautilus is a concrete and practical tool that facilitates the efficient collection of the world‘s most invasive fresh water mussel, Corbicula fluminea. Afterwards it can be used as food at home, for example for a paella, moules-frites or spaghetti, fresh and without long transportation from the local waters. They can serve as an alternative for foods that, before their introduction, were only available through imports. So we can use a resource that strains our ecosystems and in this sense enjoy the menu from the new wild.
