Abstract Freshwater mussels are essential parts of our ecosystems to reduce water pollution. As natural bio-filters, they deactivate pollutants such as heavy metals, providing a sustainable method for water decontamination. This project will enable the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to monitor mussel behavior, particularly their gaping activity, to use them as bio-indicators for early detection of water contamination. In this paper, we employ advanced 3D reconstruction techniques to create detailed models of mussels to improve the accuracy of AI-based analysis. Specifically, we use a state-of-the-art 3D reconstruction tool, Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), to create 3D models of mussel valve configurations and behavioral
