Increasing responsiveness to anthropogenic climate change and the loss of global shellfish
ecosystems has heightened interest in the carbon storage and sequestration potential of …

Filter feeding in mussels is a secondary adaptation where the gills have become W‐shaped
and greatly enlarged, acting as the mussel filter–pump. Water pumping and particle capture …

The modern biosphere owes its idiosyncratic expression to the activities of oxygen
metabolizing organisms, especially animals and eukaryotes (Butterfield, 2011). And with a …

The effect of salinity on the filtration rate of blue mussels, Mytilus edulis, from the brackish
Great Belt (Denmark) and the low-saline Central Baltic Sea, respectively, was studied. First …

The relationship between body dry weight (W) and shell length (L) of blue mussels, Mytilus
edulis, can be expressed by the condition index (CI= W/L 3) which varies from population to …

Sponges are modular organisms in which each aquiferous module draws water through a
canal system by means of pumping units (choanocyte chambers, CC), and the filtered water …

The saxitoxin-producing dinoflagellate Alexandrium minutum is a well-known microalga that
causes paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) in many coastal regions of the world. In this study …

Average filtration and growth rates of groups of juvenile Mytilus edulis (n= 25–45 of 22–35
mm shell length) were measured at different concentrations of an algal cell monoculture in 9 …

Freshwater mussels are important ecosystem engineers, and recent studies have illustrated
their many ecological contributions, but little is known about the interaction between mussels …

The paper uses information from eddy‐resolving simulations to characterize flow and
turbulence around freshwater mussels at the organism scale. The focus is on the simplest …
