When unexpected marine life comes across this advanced sampling platform, its collecting systems show important shortcomings. Certain types of plankton cause the sophisticated filtration system of the unit to get totally clogged, which calls regular surfacing and maintenance. Operating in waters with fast temperature fluctuations, the automated sample preservation system of the platform fails to preserve correct conditions, hence sample degradation results. The unit’s propensity to draw and unintentionally catch unintended marine life raises most issues since it damages equipment and poses environmental problems.
