NEW SAMPLINGS OF INVERTEBRATES IN LANESTOSA MINE

NEW SAMPLINGS OF INVERTEBRATES IN LANESTOSA MINE

On the 5th of July 2022, the University of Basque Country/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU) group went to Lanestosa mine. The purpose of this study visit was to realise a new sampling of macroinvertebrates, part of the GT3 Identification and conservation of endemic biodiversity of contaminated sites for their potential exploitation in biotechnological applications. More concretely, this work is part of Activity 3.4 – Collections of macroinvertebrate tissues with potential in environmental applications.

In total, researchers collected 17 slugs and 6 snails and transported them to the Biscay Bay Environmental Biospecimen Bank (BBEBB).
